		The major entrance to the city was from the north; the Lechaion road moved from the Gulf of Corinth and its port southward to the city.

		The most suitable place in Europe for such a laboratory is in the Gulf of Corinth because of its active tectonics (figure 1).
		The Gulf of Corinth is presently the fastest opening continental rift in the world with an opening rate somewhere between 10 and 15 mm/y and the tilting and uplifting of its southern shore at a rate which reaches locally 1 mm/y (Armijo et al., 1996).
		This is one of the key questions raised by the understanding of the rifting activity around the Gulf of Corinth : Is the observed low dipping seismic zone the result of listric faulting or does it result from a dense pattern of steep dipping normal faults and their antithetic conjugates.
