Greece, Corinth – the Bema
The bema of Corinth is a prominent raised platform in the south-central part of the ancient agora. The bema is the traditional civic location where public orations (political or ceremonial) would have been given and where legal cases were brought for trial.  In Acts 18:12 the βημα is given as the place where Paul the apostle is accused before Gallio, the proconsul of Achaea (Lucius Junius Gallio Annaeanus).  Gallio, however, declines to become involved in what he regards as a purely Jewish dispute. 

The hill in the background is, of course, the city’s acropolis, the Acrocorinth.
