| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Lucius Verus facing right, draped in paludamentum over cuirass. The portrait renders the emperor in a youthful military aspect characteristic of his co-reign with Marcus Aurelius. The obverse legend encircles the bust, identifying the emperor in full imperial titulature. The engraving style reflects the provincial workshops of Roman Achaea. |

Corinth's colonial status under Rome gave its civic mint an unusual degree of activity during the joint reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus — the first time Rome had operated under two co-emperors of genuinely equal standing. The city had been refounded by Julius Caesar in 44 BC as Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis, and that colonial identity persisted on its bronze issues for over two centuries, accounting for the Latin legends that distinguish Corinthian provincials from the Greek-inscribed output of most Achaean cities.
BCD Corinth IV.1 #5182 is among the more precisely catalogued pieces from this reign, a series that spans only the first eight years before Lucius Verus's death in 169 AD ended the experiment in dual rule.
