| Additional information |
Issued under the duoviri of Roman Corinth during the reign of Tiberius, this piece belongs to a municipally authorized bronze series tied to local magistrates rather than imperial directive. The naming of the duovir — a civic office inherited from the Roman colonial constitution Julius Caesar imposed on refounded Corinth in 44 BC — reflects the colony's unusually vigorous tradition of perpetuating magistrates' names on coinage long after most western provincials had abandoned the practice. Corinth's mint was intermittent; issues cluster around specific magistracies and then go silent for years.
