| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, portrayed frontally from the chest upward, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The imperial effigy displays characteristic Hadrianic portraiture with a short beard and wreathed head. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP CAES TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The flan is irregular, as typical of provincially struck bronze coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's colonial coinage occupies an unusual position in Roman provincial numismatics — the city was refounded as a Roman colony by Julius Caesar in 44 BC, nearly a century after Lucius Mummius had razed it to rubble in 146 BC. The Latin colonial title reflected in the legend was therefore a genuine administrative identity, not ceremony. Under Hadrian, who visited Greece twice and held the city in particular regard, civic bronze production at Corinth was notably active.
RPC III #214 falls within the earlier portion of Hadrian's reign, before his 128 AD visit elevated Corinth's regional prominence further.
