| Aversbeschreibung | Pegasus, the winged horse of Corinthian mythology, depicted in flight to the left with wings raised and forelegs extended, rendered in moderate relief against a plain field. The figure displays characteristic stylized feathering on the wings and a bridled head turned slightly upward. This iconic Corinthian civic type evokes the city's legendary association with Bellerophon and the Acrocorinth spring of Peirene. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show typical green and brown patination consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the Julio-Claudian period. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A reclining figure, identifiable as the river god Acheloos or a personification of Corinthian waters, depicted semi-recumbent to the left with the upper body raised and one arm extended, possibly holding an attribute such as a cornucopia or reed. The figure is rendered in low to moderate relief on an irregular flan with a heavily patinated, granular green surface. The composition is typical of Corinthian colonial bronze coinage under Tiberius, employing local mythological and topographical imagery alongside abbreviated Latin legends. The reverse field is largely plain, with the abbreviated legend COR appearing on the obverse side of this issue. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Corinth's colonial coinage under Tiberius was administered by local duoviri, Roman magistrates whose names appear on the issues and allow individual emissions to be dated with unusual precision for provincial bronze. This piece falls within the narrow window of 32–33 AD, a year defined in Judaea by the crucifixion of Jesus — a coincidence that has made Corinthian bronzes of exactly this moment objects of considerable theological curiosity, though their production had nothing to do with events in the east.
RPC I, 1164 is a scarce type. Corinth's colonial mint was active but not prolific, and small bronzes circulated hard in a port city.
