| Beschrijving keerzijde | Turreted figure of Fortuna-Tyche, patroness of the city, standing facing at left, holding a long sceptre in her extended hand and resting the other arm on her hip in a relaxed contrapposto pose. To the right of the central figure stands a military trophy, composed of arms and armour arranged upon a post, symbolising Roman martial victory. The composition reflects the dual civic and imperial iconography common to Corinthian colonial coinage of the Antonine period. The reverse legend C L I CoR, abbreviated in the field, identifies the issuing authority as the Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show encrustation consistent with a long burial history. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's colonial coinage under Commodus was produced by a city that had been refounded as Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis by Julius Caesar in 44 BC — placed deliberately on the ruins of the Greek city destroyed by Mummius in 146 BC. By the Antonine period, the colony had developed a robust local bronze coinage that operated entirely outside the imperial silver system, struck on civic authority rather than imperial mandate. The abbreviation C L I CoR in the reference encodes that full colonial title compressed into four letters.
