Achaia, the Roman senatorial province comprising southern Greece with its capital at Corinth
The proper name of the Roman province that encompassed southern Greece, including the Peloponnese and the region around Athens. Its capital was Corinth, where Paul appeared before the proconsul Gallio (Acts 18:12, 27; 19:21). In Paul's letters, Achaia designates the broader community of believers in southern Greece, often paired with Macedonia to represent the entire Greek church (Rom 15:26; 1 Cor 16:15; 2 Cor 1:1; 9:2; 11:10; 1 Thess 1:7-8).
