Reverse description A four-line Latin inscription occupying the central field, enclosed within a wreath of celery or parsley (Apium graveolens), the sacred wreath associated with the Isthmian Games and emblematic of Corinth. The wreath is tied at the base and frames the duoviri magistrates' names arranged in four lines. The overall composition is typical of Roman colonial bronze coinage from Corinth under the early Julio-Claudian period, with the magistrates' names serving as the principal reverse type.
