| Additional information |
Corinth's colonial coinage under Antoninus Pius was produced by a city still operating under the Roman colonial framework established by Julius Caesar in 44 BC, nearly two centuries earlier. The magistrate abbreviation C L I COR — Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis — preserves that founding title on bronze struck for purely local circulation, never intended to travel far from the Corinthia.
The reference IV.1#7578 places this within the BCD Corinth corpus, the authoritative die study for the series.
