A Roman province in southern Greece — Corinth was its capital
GreeceHistorically Verified
Well-documented Roman province. A stone inscription found at Delphi confirms the proconsul Gallio from Acts 18 was real — and helps date Paul's visit.
The southern portion of Greece under Roman administration. Corinth was its capital and the location of one of Paul's most significant churches. Paul appeared before the proconsul Gallio in Achaia (Acts 18:12-17). He wrote to the Corinthians as the church in Achaia and praised the Macedonians' generosity to encourage the Achaians to give (2 Corinthians 9).
