The sanctuary first consisted of a sacred area, which in the archaic period included a small temple.
In 146 BC, the city of Ancient Corinth was destroyed, and the temple fell into ruins.
When Roman Corinth was founded in 44 BC, the sanctuary was reestablished.
Archeological remains indicate that the temple was attacked by Christian iconoclasts.
The dates of coins found at the site indicate that this incident occurred during the mid to late 4th century, a period of persecution of pagans, when temples and shrines were attacked by Christians around the Roman Empire.
