| Reverse description | Livia, veiled and draped, seated to the right upon a high-backed chair or throne, rendered in profile. She holds a patera in her extended right hand and a long sceptre in her left, attributes associated with her quasi-divine imperial status in provincial coinage of the Tiberian period. The seated figure is depicted with flowing drapery falling to the footrest. A Latin legend encircling the type names the co-magistrate Lucius Castricius Regulus as quinquennial duovir and identifies the issuing colony of Corinth. |

| Additional information |
Corinth's colonial coinage under Tiberius was administered through locally appointed duoviri quinquennales — magistrates elected every five years to oversee the census and civic finances, a rank considerably above the ordinary annual duoviri. L. Castricius Regulus held this office and placed his name on the coinage accordingly. The Julio-Claudian colonial mints in Achaea operated with considerable autonomy in naming magistrates on bronze issues, a practice Rome tolerated as long as the imperial portrait remained prominent.
