| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Marcus Aurelius facing right, depicted with characteristic curly beard and hair rendered in the Antonine style. The imperial effigy displays traces of paludamentum at the shoulder, consistent with the military iconography adopted during his reign. The surrounding field is heavily worn, with the Latin legend distributed along the periphery. The portrait conveys the idealized yet individualized physiognomy typical of Corinthian provincial bronze coinage of the mid-second century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's provincial bronze issues under Marcus Aurelius reflect the city's peculiar administrative status — refounded as a Roman colonia by Julius Caesar in 44 BC, it remained technically a Latin colony on Greek soil for centuries, which explains the Latin colonial titulature that appears on this and related issues rather than the Greek legends typical of neighboring Achaean mints. The colony's magistrates, not Rome, controlled local bronze production, making output irregular and tied to municipal finances.
BCD Corinth IV.1 #4651 places this piece within a well-documented but chronologically loose sequence across the nineteen-year reign.
