Reverse description A Roman war galley depicted sailing to the left, rendered in relief with oars visible beneath the hull and a mast rising from the deck, referencing Nero's adventus to Greece. The legend surrounding the type records the names and titles of the local magistrates responsible for the issue, including the quinquennial duovir Lucius Rutilius Piso, along with the abbreviation COR for Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis. The abbreviations ADVE and AVG appear in the field, alluding to the adventus (arrival) of Augustus. The composition is typical of colonial bronze issues struck at Corinth under Nero, commemorating imperial visits and civic magistracies.
