| Additional information |
Corinth's civic bronze coinage under the early Julio-Claudians was administered by local duoviri, Roman magistrates whose names frequently appear on the issues — a deliberate assertion of colonial status rather than subject-city subordination. This piece was struck during the lifetime of Drusus the Younger, second son of Tiberius, while Augustus still held power. Drusus never became emperor; he died in 23 AD, likely poisoned by Sejanus and his own wife Livilla, a scandal that emerged only eight years after his death when Sejanus fell from favor.
