| Additional information |
Corinth's colonial coinage under Domitian was issued by a city still operating under the juridical and administrative framework of Caesar's 44 BC refoundation — one of the earliest Roman coloniae established in Greece. The abbreviation COL IVL FLAV AVG in the legend tracks the colony's accumulated honorifics: Julia from Julius Caesar, Flavia from the dynasty then in power, Augusta from imperial favor. That accumulation of titles in a single legend is unusually dense for a provincial bronze of this module.
