Æ13

Corinth was razed by L. Mummius in 146 BC and lay uninhabited for a century until Julius Caesar refounded it as Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis in 44 BC — the same year of his assassination. This small bronze belongs to the earliest phase of that colonial coinage, issued by a settlement populated largely with freedmen from Rome and veterans, not Greeks.

The colonial mint at Corinth operated under Roman magistrates, making these issues administratively Latin in character despite their Greek geographic setting.
