The Roman Odeion (Odeum) of Ancient Corinth was constructed in the 1st century AD, as an integral part of the new – founded Roman Imperial colony of Corinth. The Odeion is estimated to hold an audience of 3,000 spectators of musical and rhetorical contests. 

In the 2nd century CE it was renovated, probably thanks to a donation of the famous benefactor and philosopher Herodes Atticus, while in the 3rd century CE it was converted into an arena. The monument was destroyed and abandoned in the 4th century CE.
