| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Venus-Aphrodite, depicted facing right in a frontal pose, her body partially draped, holding a long sceptre upright in one hand and an apple — her mythological attribute — in the other. The composition reflects the syncretic Romano-Greek religious tradition prevalent at the Roman colony of Corinth, where the cult of Aphrodite held particular importance. The colonial abbreviation legend appears in the field surrounding the deity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's provincial bronze issues under Marcus Aurelius were struck under the authority of the Roman colony — Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis, hence the C L I COR abbreviation — refounded by Julius Caesar in 44 BC on the site of the city the Romans had razed in 146 BC. The colonial status mattered: it entitled Corinth to mint in a way most Greek cities under Roman rule could not do unilaterally.
The reference IV.1#7889 places this within the Burnett, Amandry, and Ripollès *Roman Provincial Coinage* corpus, the standard classification for colonial and provincial bronzes of this period.
