| Reverse description | Aphrodite, standing or seated, rides in a biga drawn by two Tritons moving to the left; the goddess holds a mirror, her attribute as patron deity of Corinth. The two sea-creature steeds, depicted as hybrid fish-tailed figures, flank the central composition dynamically. The duovir's name and the colonial abbreviation COR appear in the exergue and surrounding legend. A dotted border encircles the entire design, characteristic of Roman provincial bronze coinage of this period. |
