| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Chimera, the mythological fire-breathing hybrid creature of Lycian legend, depicted striding to the right in a dynamic walking pose. The beast combines leonine, goat, and serpentine elements characteristic of ancient representations. The colonial legend appears in the field, affirming Corinth's status as a Roman colony. The composition is typical of Corinthian provincial bronze coinage, which frequently employed mythological and Pegasus-related imagery referencing the city's legendary heritage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's colonial status under Rome granted it the right to produce bronze coinage for local circulation, a privilege not extended to every Greek city. This piece falls within the early co-rule of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, a period when provincial mints across Achaea were actively updating their coin types to reflect the new joint emperors. The Corinthian mint was unusually prolific in this period relative to other Achaean issues, producing a wide range of denominations tied closely to civic festival and religious administration.
