Corinthian Matters
My colleague Dr. Pettegrew is blogging again at Corinthian Matters, and I’m linking here to encourage him to keep with it : )
In seriousness though, he’s got a link to an animation of the diolkos across the Isthmus of Greece. I’m not sure about all the details since they conflict with some of what I’ve understood in the past concerning how this portage road was used. But, it’s quite helpful for envisioning the overall use of the road and why it would have provided a considerable shortcut between Italy and the western Mediterranean. I’m embedding it below in its entirety, but you can find links to sections at Corinthian Matters.
