| Additional information |
Corinth's provincial bronze issues under Marcus Aurelius cluster around the co-regency period when Commodus was elevated to Augustus in 177 AD, a political maneuver Marcus used to secure the succession before his Danubian campaigns consumed him entirely. The magistrate abbreviation COR in the legend identifies this as a Corinthian civic issue — the colony retained its Roman colonial identity fiercely, using Latin legends long after most Achaean mints had reverted to Greek.
