ΑΣΠΙΣ (Νησάκι) ΚΟΡΙΝΘΟΣ
Aspis. An island in the Saronic Gulf. A well-preserved mediaeval castle crowns
the sloping ridge that runs the length of the island, and remains are also known
of the Mycenaean (Late Helladic III C) to late Roman times. The island is named
by Pliny (HN 4.57) who locates it 7 (Roman) miles from Kenchreai. The Athenian
fleet must have anchored there briefly after the battle of Solygia in 425 B.C.
while heralds were sent back to recover the only two Athenian casualties of the
engagement before sailing to Krommyon
