Modern Description: Two tiers of good masonry bridge for the aqueduct running 85 km from springs at Kionia above Lake Stymphalos to Ancient Corinth, probably begun ca. 125 CE. It incorporates blocks from earlier monumental structures in the area. This is one of the longer, most ambitious aqueducts in the Roman world. See Y. Lolos in Hesperia 66 (1997)
