The colonnade and entablature are clearly delineated, and the structure is understood to represent the imperial cult temple at Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis. The magistrate's name and colonial mint abbreviation are inscribed in the field around the temple type. |

| 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.
