| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of the emperor Hadrian facing right, wearing a paludamentum draped over the left shoulder, the breastplate visible at the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in a frontal three-quarter perspective typical of provincial Roman coinage of the Antonine period. A Latin imperial titulature legend encircles the effigy. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's status as a Roman colony — refounded by Julius Caesar in 44 BC after a century of abandonment following Lucius Mummius's destruction in 146 BC — gave its civic coinage a particular political character. Issues under Hadrian coincide with his well-documented tour of Greece beginning in 128 AD, during which he lavished attention and building programs on Corinth and its surroundings. The Isthmian Games reference encoded in the reverse type directly tied local civic pride to imperial favor.
The III#164 reference places this within a tightly catalogued colonial series where die linkages are known.
