| Reverse description | Livia (Julia Augusta), mother of Tiberius, depicted veiled and seated left on a high-backed throne or chair, rendered in the manner of a seated goddess. She holds ears of grain in her extended right hand, an attribute evoking Ceres, and a long sceptre in her left hand, symbols of imperial fertility and authority. The field is plain. The Latin legend P CANINIO AGRIPPA IIVIR QVINQ COR encircles the design, naming the co-duovir quinquennalis and the abbreviated colony name COR(inthus). |

| Additional information |
Struck in 21–22 AD under the duovir quinquennalis P. Caninius Agrippa, this colonial bronze belongs to Corinth's Roman refoundation — Julius Caesar's 44 BC colony, Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis, which replaced the Greek city razed by Mummius in 146 BC. The quinquennales held census powers and issued coinage in years coinciding with their office, making the magistrate's name a precise chronological anchor rather than mere honorific attribution. RPC I 1183 documents this issue within a tightly sequenced run of Tiberian colonial bronzes from Corinth, a mint that remained unusually active for a provincial city well into the first century.
