| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's provincial bronze output under Commodus reflects the city's status as the Roman colony Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis — a refoundation by Julius Caesar in 44 BC that gave it a distinctly Latin character unusual among Greek provincial mints. The magistrate abbreviation C L I COR appearing on this issue identifies the colonial authority rather than a Greek civic body, a distinction that mattered administratively even three centuries after the refoundation.
Commodus was assassinated on New Year's Eve 192 AD, strangled by a wrestler named Narcissus after a poisoning attempt failed to kill him quickly enough.
