This work is a study of the origins of the ancient Greek stadium, especially with regard to the archaeological evidence from the Archaic & Classical sites of Corinth, Isthmia, Halieis and Olympia. The earliest remains of the Greek "stadion" come from the Peloponnesos, a region of southern Greece, although the architectural structure eventually became well known all over the Greek and Roman world.
