| Aanvullende informatie |
Patras held the status of a Roman colony — Colonia Aelia Augusta Patrensis — granted by Augustus after he refounded the city following the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, resettling it with veterans from the victorious legions. Under Hadrian, the city enjoyed renewed imperial attention; his tour of the Greek provinces in 128–129 AD brought him to the region, and local bronze issues of this period likely reflect civic pride tied directly to that visit.
The colonial abbreviation COL A A in the legend anchors this piece firmly to Augustan foundation mythology still being invoked two centuries on.
