| Additional information |
Corinth's colonial status under Rome gave its civic bronze issues an unusual administrative character — the abbreviation C L I COR (Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis) on this piece reflects the city's refounding by Julius Caesar in 44 BC, replacing the Greek polis razed by Mummius in 146 BC. The gap between those two dates left the site largely uninhabited for a century. By Marcus Aurelius's reign the colony was thoroughly Romanized, its mint producing duoviral bronzes that tracked imperial accessions closely — this type dates to the early co-reign with Lucius Verus, before the Antonine Plague reshaped imperial priorities after 165.
