| Additional information |
Corinth's colonial mint was among the most active in Achaea during the Antonine period, issuing bronze denominations throughout Commodus's reign under the authority of local magistrates rather than imperial direction. The abbreviation C L I COR — Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis — reflects the city's refoundation by Julius Caesar in 44 BC, a status the Corinthians clearly valued enough to stamp on their coinage nearly two and a half centuries later.
The narrow three-year window assigned to this type rests largely on magistrate sequencing rather than direct documentary evidence.
