But Corinth was built around the Acrocorinth. The stream that ran dwon from the elevated position was supposedly where Bellerophon's Pegasus drank. That is a beautiful image, but I spent hours looking through the details of Corinth's construction for a roleplaying game and it is not accurate.

I guess that people refuse to think that one of the seats of Pentarchy is abandoned. I myself had no awareness of this fact.

The Atrebates were early allies of Rome, and built themselves a city before the ROman occupation began. Theirs was also one the last Romano-British cities, resisting the early tides of the English invaders, rebuilding fallen structures in wood, eventually dwindling to nothing, and filling in their own wells rather than have their city taken by the English. Now all that's left of Calleva Atrebatum-- the "place n the woods" of the Atrebates-- is pic related.
