| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in the conventional Roman imperial portrait style. The obverse legend encircles the effigy, identifying the emperor with his full titulature. The portrait displays characteristic features of Flavian-era provincial coinage, with the laurel wreath rendered in low relief on the slightly irregular flan. |

| Additional information |
Corinth's colonial bronze issues under Domitian reflect the city's unusual administrative status — refounded by Julius Caesar in 44 BC as Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis, it operated as a Roman colony in the heart of a Greek province, producing Latin-legend coinage long after surrounding Greek cities had resumed their own civic issues. The colonial title abbreviated in this coin's legend traces directly to that Caesarean refoundation, carried intact through over a century of imperial succession.
