| Beschrijving keerzijde | The nude figure of Isthmos, the personification of the Isthmus of Corinth, stands facing with head turned to the left. He holds a steering rudder in each hand, symbolizing the maritime significance of the isthmus as a crossing point between two seas. The colonial abbreviation legend [C L I] COR appears in the field, referencing the Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis. The flan is irregularly shaped and the surfaces are heavily patinated with a dark green and blue-grey encrustation typical of excavated provincial bronzes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's colonial mint operated under close Roman administrative oversight, its output functioning as fiduciary bronze for the Peloponnesian interior rather than for wider circulation. Issues struck for Marcus Aurelius from this mint are notably less common than those of his co-emperor Lucius Verus, likely reflecting fluctuating demand during the Antonine Plague years — a pandemic that depopulated parts of Achaea severely enough to affect both tax receipts and coin demand after roughly 165 AD.
