| Additional information |
Corinth's provincial bronze issues under Marcus Aurelius occupy a narrow window — the colony was actively producing coinage in the early joint reign with Lucius Verus, before output dropped sharply in the later 160s, likely due to the devastation wrought by the Antonine Plague, which reached Greece no later than 167 AD. The colony's mint was never prolific to begin with, and attrition from disease-related disruption makes issues from this precise phase genuinely scarce.
