| Additional information |
Hadrian visited Corinth at least twice, and the city's colonial coinage from his reign reflects a municipality keenly aware of its Roman refoundation under Julius Caesar in 44 BC — hence the COL L IVL COR legend asserting that identity nearly two centuries on. Roman Corinth was a Latin colony planted deliberately on the ruins of the Greek city Mummius had destroyed in 146 BC, and local bronzes of this period functioned as much as civic proclamation as exchange.
