The latest Corinthiaka for this cold Monday morning:
- (via Matt Malcolm’s blog) A conference on May 14 at Macquarie University on the theme of “Corinth – Paul, People and Politics,” sponsored by the Society for the Study of Early Christianity. A seminar (May 12) in advance of the conference on the theme of “The Economy of Ancient Corinth.”
- Bill Caraher visits Justinian, Victorinus, and the Isthmus in Verona

- In September, I posted a link to a relatively new documentary on the diolkos of Corinth in Greek. Here is a version in English: Part 1 and Part 2.
