Information about Battle Of Corinth (146 Bc)
The Battle of Corinth was a battle by the Roman Republic in 146 BC, that resulted in the complete and total destruction of the Greek state famous for its fabulous wealth.
The Romans under Lucius Mummius Achaicus destroyed Corinth following a siege in 146 BC; when he entered the city Mummius put all the men to the sword and sold the women and children into slavery before he torched the city, for which he was given the cognomen Achaicus as the conqueror of the Achaean League.
While there is archeological evidence of some minimal habitation in the years afterwards, Julius Caesar refounded the city as Colonia laus Iulia Corinthiensis in 44 BC shortly before his assassination.
With Greece under Rome's control, a new chapter was added to Rome's history called the Greco-Roman Era.
