The Roman Empire and Corinth

The city of Corinth was a seat of resistance to Rome in the second century BC. Julius Caesar decided that he's going to refound the city of Corinth as a Roman colony. The Romans turn Greece into a formal administrative province of Achaia and so Corinth becomes the capital, not Athens. They build an amphitheater because of course you have to have an amphitheaters if you're a Roman city but that amphitheater goes out of use after about a century of use.
