| Reverse description | The mythological winged horse Pegasus is depicted in full flight, bounding to the left with wings raised and all four legs extended, conveying vigorous motion. The figure is rendered in high relief and occupies the majority of the reverse field. The colonial magistrate's legend M BELLIO PROCVLO IIVIR COR encircles the type, with COR appearing in the lower exergual area, identifying the duovir Marcus Bellius Proculus and the colony of Corinth. The reverse type of Pegasus is a traditional emblem of Corinth, referencing the city's mythological heritage. |
