Corinth IX, iii: The Sculptural Assemblage from the Theater. manuscript: 900 pp., 84 plates, in final stages of preparation. This book treats sculptures found in older excavations, many in fragmentary condition, and restores them on the three-storied colonnaded façade of the Hadrianic Theater at Corinth. Although the theater survives only as a "foot print," computer-assisted reconstruction drawings, made using the Auto-CAD and Adobe Photo programs, recreate the original scene building and cavea to provide the physical context for a large, painted sculptural assemblage. Statues of the emperor and his family, of deities important in Corinth, and of Greek-style battle reliefs convey the political and cultural self-identification and aspirations of the city. Various sources including inscriptions suggest that the theater was constructed ca. A.D. 120- 130, funded by local office-holders who advertised their benefaction and offices in large-lettered inscriptions.
