Additional information

Corycus was a minor coastal city in Cilicia Tracheia — rough, mountainous territory that Rome never fully pacified until Pompey's campaign against the pirates in 67 BC. Much of the region's bronze coinage circulated within an economy shaped as much by piracy and the timber trade as by orthodox commerce. The SNG France references group these pieces across two consecutive catalogue numbers, suggesting at least minor die variation within the type.
