Answer:

Corinth grew into a great commercial power thanks to its geographical position near the Isthmus. Using the ship road known as the Diolkos and the city's two ports, Lechaion and Kenchreai, it could control trade both on land and at sea.

Answer:

South-central Greece's Peloponnese region includes the ancient and contemporary cities of Corinth. At the eastern tip of the Gulf of Corinth, roughly 50 miles (80 km) west of Athens, on a terrace, rising 300 feet (90 meters) from sea level, are the ancient city's ruins. The ancient city was built at the foot of the Acrocorinthus fortress, an outcropping that reaches 1,886 feet (575 meters) above sea level and resembles Gibraltar.

The Saronic, as well as Corinthian gulfs, are separated from one another by the Isthmus of Corinth, which links the Peloponnese to central Greece and is where the Acrocorinthus is located. Above the old city, commanding the land entrance to the Peloponnese rises the Acrocorinthus castle. Corinth was made a Roman colony once more by Julius Caesar in 44 BCE. The newly established Corinth prospered and was made the seat of government for the Roman province of Achaea.

The letters written by the apostle Paul to the city's Christian community are what New Testament readers know about the place. Under the Byzantine authority, it saw some prosperity, but in the later European Middle Ages, it fell on hard times. It was relegated to a rural town following the Turkish takeover in 1458.
