Beskrivning:

Remains of Nero's aborted project to cut through the Isthmus of Corinth (67 AD). The Roman digging is indicated by the dark shaded areas. The vertical shafts in the cross section below were excavated by the Romans to probe the stone material. The map was drawn by chief engineer Bela Gerster in 1881 during his survey for the modern canal.
