Detailed explanation-1: -Corinth was a trade city in an ideal location that allowed it to have two seaports, one on the Saronic Gulf and one on the Corinthian Gulf. As a result, the city was one of the wealthiest cities in Ancient Greece. The Corinthians developed their own coins and required that traders use them when in their city.
Detailed explanation-2: -Corinth, Greek Kórinthos, an ancient and a modern city of the Peloponnese, in south-central Greece. The remains of the ancient city lie about 50 miles (80 km) west of Athens, at the eastern end of the Gulf of Corinth, on a terrace some 300 feet (90 metres) above sea level.
Detailed explanation-3: -Corinth (British English: /ˈkɒrɪn/ KORR-inth, American English: /ˈkɔːrɪn/; Greek: Korinthos; Doric Greek: ; Latin: Corinthus) was a city-state (polis) on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta.
Detailed explanation-4: -During the Early Bronze Age, the settlement served as a trade center. Progressively, Corinth developed into a powerful city. It was under the Bacchiadae (747-650 BC) that Corinth expanded its cultural influence. It became a unified state, large buildings emerged, and the first colonies, like Syracuse, were established.
