Æ21 - Claudius L PA (O (NIO) FLAM (or FLAM) CN PVB (I (CIO), NE BR (in exergue)

Corinth's status as a Roman colony — refounded by Julius Caesar in 44 BC on the site of the city Mummius had razed in 146 BC — gave its local magistrates the authority to issue bronze coinage in their own names, a privilege that produced a long series of civic issues under named duoviri and flamines. This coin falls during Claudius's principate, a period when Corinth was actively minting under locally appointed officials whose abbreviated titles appear in the legends.

The fragmentary magistrate names recorded here — likely a flamen and a duovir quinquennalis — reflect the colonial Roman administrative structure transplanted onto Greek soil. Corinth's mint output under Claudius is relatively well-documented but die-linked attributions remain contested in several sequences.
