| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, presented in three-quarter frontal view, with the imperial paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The effigy displays the characteristic Hadrianic beard and laureate wreath. A partially legible Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading IMP CAES TRA[---], identifying the emperor as Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat worn, partially obscuring both the legend and the fine details of the portrait. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth by Hadrian's reign was a Roman colonia — refounded by Julius Caesar in 44 BC after a century of deliberate abandonment following its destruction by Mummius in 146 BC. Provincial bronze struck here under Hadrian reflects a city deeply invested in its Roman identity rather than its Greek past, a posture Hadrian himself complicated by his well-documented philhellenism and his personal visits to the Greek provinces. He passed through the Peloponnese during at least two of his eastern tours, and Corinth would have been an unavoidable stop on any such circuit.
