| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, depicted with characteristic Flavian portraiture showing strong facial features and a wreath of laurel leaves. The imperial effigy is rendered in high relief typical of provincial bronze coinage. The surrounding legend arcs along the coin's periphery in Latin characters, recording the emperor's full titulature including his tribunician power designation. The field shows the slightly irregular surface characteristic of provincial hammered bronze production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Patras held the status of a Roman colony — Colonia Aroe Patrensis — established by Augustus after Actium, resettling veterans and stripping neighboring communities to populate it. That colonial identity is precisely why a Greek city in Achaea was issuing Latin-legend bronze coinage under Domitian rather than the Greek civic issues typical of the province. The colony retained the right to strike its own bronze well into the imperial period, operating semi-independently of the provincial koine.
RPC II #249 places this issue firmly in Domitian's fifth consulship year.
