Corinthia

Corinthia is a region of southern Greece around the Isthmus of Corinth, linking the Peloponnese with the mainland. Dominated by ancient Corinth and the citadel of Acrocorinth, it controlled the land route into the peninsula and the trade of two gulfs. In the early 13th century it was held by Leo Sgouros before falling to the Frankish conquerors, and it is now a regional unit of Greece.
