Abstract
Small metal fragments (c. 100) found in the Forum Area in Corinth indicate large-scale production here of small-scale figures. Techniques of lost-wax casting, used in each case, are illuminated; in some instances, the brush strokes resulting from the application of wax remain imprinted in the cast metal. Fragments date from Late Protocorinthian to 5th c. B.C., and after a break, start again in the early Roman Period. Large-scale figures were probably cast outside of the city's center. -- AATA
