Æ - Domitian COL A A PATRENS

Patras was refounded as a Roman colony by Augustus around 14 BC, resettling veterans from the Praetorian and other cohorts — giving it the colonial designation that appears in its coin legends. By Domitian's reign, the colony retained the right to strike local bronze, a privilege increasingly curtailed elsewhere in Greece. The reference II#262 places this within the RPC II framework, where Patraean bronzes of this period are notably scarce in fine condition, likely owing to heavy local circulation rather than low original mintage.
