| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Roman war galley depicted in left profile occupies the central field, rendered with a stylized hull and oars suggestive of maritime power and imperial arrival. The design commemorates the adventus, or ceremonial arrival, of the emperor, a theme of considerable political significance for the colony of Patras. The legend ADVENTVS AVGVSTI arcs around the upper field, while the colonial abbreviation C P (Colonia Patrensis) appears in the lower field. The overall composition is typical of the civic bronze coinage struck at Patras under Nero, with a broad, flat flan and bold but somewhat crude die engraving. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Patras held special status as a Roman colony — Colonia Aroe Patrensis — founded by Augustus, which gave it the rare provincial privilege of issuing its own bronze coinage. The ADVENTVS AVGVSTI type commemorates an imperial arrival, almost certainly tied to Nero's Greek tour of 66–67 AD, during which he competed in the games at Corinth and declared the freedom of Greece in a theatrical ceremony at the Isthmian Games. The colonial magistrate abbreviation C P anchors the issue firmly to Patras rather than the broader Achaean province.
