Encarta Answers  | Ancient Corinth: City of ancient Greece. A settlement existed there from before 2000 BC. By 650 BC was Greece's main trade centre. In 146 BC the Roman army destroyed Corinth. It was rebuilt by Julius Caesar in 44BC. An earthquake desroyed the city in 521. It was later captured by the Ottoman Turks (1458), the Venetians (1687), and again by the Turks (1715), who held it until Greek insurgents recaptured it in 1822. In 1858 Corinth was again destroyed by an earthquake. |
