| Additional information |
Corinth had been razed by Lucius Mummius in 146 BC and left uninhabited for a century before Julius Caesar refounded it as Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis in 44 BC — the same year of his assassination. Augustus inherited a colony still finding its administrative footing, and the duoviri quinquennales who authorized issues like this one served as the colonial equivalent of censors, elected only every five years to conduct the census and oversee public contracts. P. Aebvtivs held that office at a moment when Corinth was aggressively minting to establish its colonial identity.
