| Additional information |
Corinth's colonial coinage under Domitian reflects the city's unusual status as a Roman refoundation — Julius Caesar re-established it as Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis in 44 BC after the original Greek city had been razed by Mummius in 146 BC. The colonial title embedded in this coin's legend traces directly to that Caesarian charter, not to any Flavian grant.
Reference II#186A places this among the rarer die pairings documented for Domitianic Corinth.
