Abstract

Abstract:Of all monuments constructed or renovated in Corinth from its foundation as a Roman colony in 44 b.c. into the early 3rd century a.d., springhouses and fountains are perhaps the most evocative and elaborate. Hydraulic architecture is particularly valuable for chronicling Corinth's evolution from Roman colony among Greek neighbors to thriving capital of provincia Achaia. Architecture and sculptural adornment, donor inscriptions, and associated myths conspired to cultivate memories and shape identity, reflecting and reinvesting in the city's provincial and imperial status. While fountain design was an important medium of sociopolitical communication, the monuments were, above all, expressions of affinities and tensions felt toward the natural world and its divine stewards.

在阳光下玩耍:科林斯帝国的水力建筑和水展示

摘要:从公元前44年作为罗马殖民地的科林斯到公元3世纪初，在所有建造或翻新的纪念碑中，泉水屋和喷泉可能是最令人回味和最精致的。水力建筑在记录科林斯从希腊邻国的罗马殖民地到亚该亚省繁荣的首府的演变过程中尤其有价值。建筑和雕塑装饰、捐赠者的铭文以及相关的神话共同培养了人们的记忆和塑造了身份，反映并重新投资了这座城市的省级和帝国地位。虽然喷泉设计是社会政治交流的重要媒介，但最重要的是，纪念碑表达了对自然世界及其神圣管家的亲近感和紧张感。
