Æ21 - Germanicus Parsley wreath

Descrizione del dritto	Bare head of Germanicus Julius Caesar facing right, rendered in a naturalistic Julio-Claudian style with short, curly hair. The portrait is well-modelled with a pronounced jaw and youthful features characteristic of early imperial Roman provincial coinage. A Latin legend encircles the effigy in the field, naming the subject and the colony. The flan is slightly irregular, typical of hammered provincial bronze issues of this period.

Descrizione del rovescio	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.
