| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, depicted facing front atop a raised base, with her head turned to the left. She is adorned with what appears to be a mural crown, an attribute befitting a tutelary deity of a Roman colonial city. In her extended right hand she holds a patera, used for libations, while her left hand raises a long sceptre or spear. The composition reflects the standard iconographic conventions of colonial Corinthian bronze issues of the Antonine period, with the abbreviated colonial legend distributed in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth by the Antonine period was a Roman colony — Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis — refounded by Julius Caesar in 44 BC on the site of the city Lucius Mummius had razed to rubble in 146 BC. The colonial magistrates retained the right to strike bronze coinage, and issues under Marcus Aurelius reflect a city administratively Latin in character but operating in a thoroughly Greek environment. The fragmentary legend reading [H]EST[I]A C L I COR identifies both the deity and the issuing colonial authority — Colonia Laus Iulia (or Iulia) Corinthiensis — a combination that appears across a small cluster of types in RPC IV.
