| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, portrayed in the Roman imperial military manner. The effigy displays the characteristic features of Commodus with layered laurel wreath atop the head. The cuirass and paludamentum drape over the left shoulder, conveying imperial and military authority. A peripheral legend in Latin encircles the bust, partially legible due to wear, rendering the emperor's full titulature. The strike is characteristic of provincial hammered coinage of the Severan-Antonine period. |

Patras — formally Colonia Aroe Augusta Patrensis — was a Roman colony founded by Augustus following his victory at Actium in 31 BC, situated just miles from the battle site itself. Its colonial status entitled it to produce bronze coinage in the emperor's name, a privilege exercised sporadically through the imperial period. The dating of this piece to 182–184 places it within the early sole reign of Commodus, shortly after the death of Marcus Aurelius and before the increasingly erratic behavior of the new emperor began destabilizing court politics in Rome.
The BM reference IV.1#9423 corresponds to the British Museum's *Greek Coins* catalogue for the Peloponnese.
