| 裏面の説明 | Aphrodite, the patron goddess of Corinth, is depicted standing or seated in a biga drawn by two Tritons, the composition moving to the left. The goddess holds a mirror aloft in her right hand, a canonical attribute emphasizing her vanity and divine beauty. The Tritons, hybrid marine deities with human torsos and fish tails, serve as the motive force of the divine vehicle, their muscular forms rendered in the bold, somewhat schematic style typical of Roman colonial bronzes. The reverse legend names the local duovir Marcus Acilius Candidus and the colony of Corinth, situating the issue firmly within the Roman municipal coinage tradition. |

Corinth's status as a Roman colony — refounded by Julius Caesar in 44 BC on the site of the city destroyed by Mummius in 146 BC — gave it the right to strike its own bronze coinage, a privilege exercised continuously through the early imperial period. The duoviri (IIVIR) named on this issue were the colony's chief magistrates, elected annually, and their appearance on civic coinage was both an honor and a municipal advertisement. This piece dates to the very opening of Nero's reign, within his first year as emperor.
