Additional information

Corinth was razed by the Roman general Lucius Mummius in 146 BC and left deliberately uninhabited for a century, its site a monument to Roman punishment of Greek resistance. Julius Caesar refounded it as a Latin colony in 44 BC — the same year of his assassination — populating it largely with freedmen. The colonial mint was active under Tiberius but produced in comparatively small volumes, and the full Corinthian colonial series remains one of the less systematically catalogued provincial sequences.
