Æ20 - Tiberius L FVRIO LABEONE IIVIR GENT IVLI COR

Issued under the duoviri Lucius Furius Laleo during the reign of Tiberius, this is a product of Roman Corinth — not the ancient Greek city but the Julian colony refounded by Caesar in 44 BC and formally named Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis. The magistrate named in the legend held one of the two senior annual offices of the colonial administration, and his appearance on the coinage was both a civic honor and a declaration of loyalty to the Julio-Claudian house.

Tiberius was notoriously indifferent to provincial bronze coinage, and much of the eastern mint activity under his reign reflects local initiative rather than imperial directive.
