| Aanvullende informatie |
Patras received colonial status under Augustus, who resettled the city with veterans and renamed it Colonia Augusta Aroe Patrensis. The Neronian-era retitling reflected in this coin's legend — Colonia Neronia Patrensis — was part of a broader imperial flattery campaign following Nero's accession in 54 AD, renaming or re-dedicating colonies across the Greek east in his honor. Nero famously declared the freedom of Greece at the Isthmian Games in 67 AD, though the gesture was revoked by Vespasian.
Provincial bronze from Achaea in this period circulated alongside Roman imperial issues with no fixed exchange rate enforced by Rome.
