| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nude figure of Mercury (Hermes) standing facing, head turned to the left, extending the right hand over a ram at his feet, while the left hand holds a caduceus and a chlamys. The composition reflects the classical Hellenistic iconography of the divine messenger, appropriate to the Greek colonial heritage of Corinth. The colonial abbreviation appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's colonial coinage under Marcus Aurelius reflects the city's unusual dual identity — a Roman colonia planted on the ruins of the Greek city destroyed by Mummius in 146 BC, issuing Latin-legend bronzes while Greek civic coinages surrounded it on all sides. The abbreviation C L I COR stands for Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis, the formal title granted when Julius Caesar refounded the city in 44 BC, the very year of his assassination.
Provincial bronzes of this module from Corinth are notoriously inconsistent in flan preparation, with many examples showing lamination or uneven surfaces traceable to local foundry practice rather than die quality.
