| Beschrijving keerzijde | Depiction of the celebrated Temple of Venus/Aphrodite atop the Acrocorinthus, rendered as a distyle or tetrastyle shrine set upon the rocky summit. Within the temple, a standing cult statue of the goddess is shown facing left, holding the shield of Mars/Ares before her as a mirror, a distinctive iconographic motif associated with the Aphrodite of Corinth. The reverse legend in the field identifies the issuing colonial authority. The composition reflects the importance of the Acrocorinthus sanctuary as a civic and religious symbol of Roman Corinth. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's civic bronze coinage under Marcus Aurelius was issued by a Roman colony that had been refounded by Julius Caesar in 44 BC, nearly a century after Lucius Mummius had razed the original Greek city to rubble in 146 BC. The colony retained the right to strike its own bronze throughout the imperial period, a privilege that reflected Corinth's administrative status as capital of the province of Achaea. Issues attributable to Marcus Aurelius's reign fall within a period when provincial bronze was increasingly the only coinage most inhabitants ever handled for daily transactions.
