Reconstruction of ancient Corinth city as it was in II century AD, in Roman Empire ages. It contains the whole city, the central part with Agora, temple of Apollon, theatre and Odeon, and also hippodrome, gymnasium, temple of Asclepius and amphitheatre. Near the city is Acrocorinth mountain with fortress and temples. A typological study of Corinthian capitals with interlocked helices show two main types, the first, interlocked normal helices, the second, interlocked flowered helices. Those types were used on in general on temples during the Roman period. The study included is descriptions of the capitals, which are then compared with one another. The temple kept its Classical form into the Roman period, even though it suffered damage in 146 BC, during the Romans’ razing of Corinth. With the rebuilding of the sanctuary at the end of the first century AD, the aspect of the edifice was improved and a precinct wall (peribolos) was constructed around it. Roman architect Vitruvius observed that the delicate Corinthian design "was produced out of the two other orders." He described the Corinthian column as "an imitation of the slenderness of a maiden; for the outlines and limbs of maidens, being more slender on account of their tender years, admit of prettier effects in the way of adornment.
