The Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth was constructed between 1931 and 1932, with intentions to display the numerous recent archaeological excavations. It contains an extensive collection of artefacts originally found in Ancient Corinth. The archaeological findings exhibited in the galleries convey the history of various items of sculptures and inscriptions from different time periods and findings.
The prehistoric gallery contains findings from various vases and cult figurines, which are physical proof of the intense activity and settlement that occurred in these regions during the prehistoric period.
The Classical gallery contains findings originally from the Geometric, Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic City of Corinth.
The Roman gallery contains findings located in the Roman, Byzantine and Frankish city. Numerous sculptures and interesting mosaics found in Roman villas of the Colonia Laus Lulia Corinthiensis are shown in this exhibition. Other unique objects are also present, majority consisting of glazed plates originating from the Byzantine era of the city, as well as from the Frankish rule.
The gallery entitled 'Asklepeion, the healing sanctuary', contains findings situated form the Sanctuary of Asklepios and the Early Christian cemetery. The exhibit includes unique findings from the sanctuary of Asklepios in Ancient Corinth. Majority of these artefacts were clay offerings shaped as human body parts, as well as Byzantine funerary stelae from Corinth's early Christian cemetery.
The Atrium gallery includes a collection of statues, sculptures, Greek and Latin inscriptions as well as findings that serve as proof of the presence of the Judaic community in the Roman city.
Stobi was an ancient town of Paeonia located near Gradsko. It is considered by many to be the most famous archaeological site in North Macedonia. Stobi was built where the Erigon (Crna River) joins the Axios (Vardar), making it strategically important as a center for both trade and warfare.
Stobi developed from a Paeonian settlement established in the Archaic period. It is believed that in 217 BCE, Philip V annexed Paionia during his campaign against the Dardani who had entered Bylazora, the largest Paeonian town.
The city was first mentioned in writing by the historian Livy, in connection with a victory of Philip V of Macedon over the Dardani in 197 BC. In 168 BC, the Romans defeated Perseus and Macedonia was divided into four nominally independent republics. In 148 BC, the four areas of Macedonia were brought together in a unified Roman province. In the reign of Augustus the city grew in size and population.
