In this new Corinth volume, Ron Stroud presents all of these inscriptions, and he relates them to an overall interpretation of the activities, secular and religious, attested in this shrine during its long period of use from the 7th century B.C. until the end of the 4th century A.D. Where possible, Stroud also draws out their implications for and contribution to the history of ancient Corinth, the worship of the goddesses Demeter and Kore, and the practice of magic--especially in the Roman period. This is the final publication of the inscribed objects from the sanctuary, excluding loomweights and stamped amphora handles, which will be included in a later publication."--Publisher website Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes Print version record Subject Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone (Corinth, Greece) SUBJECT Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone (Corinth, Greece) fast Subject Inscriptions, Greek -- Greece -- Corinth Inscriptions, Latin -- Greece -- Corinth Excavations (Archaeology) -- Greece -- Corinth Material culture -- Greece -- Corinth HISTORY -- Ancient -- Greece.
