Commodus, AE23 of Corinth, Achaia.

IM L AVR COM, laureate, draped bust right.
COL IVL IVG CA-(SS?), Aphrodite standing half right, holding 
apple near right shoulder. 

BCD 809 (Lanz).

The combination of these legends is unique and is seen 
on only one other coin, a coin with Poseidon reverse 
mentioned in Mionnet (though under Berytus) with the 
same legends as this example, sold by Lanz as part of the 
BCD collection, later offered by Dix Noonan Webb (Lot 342, 
9th Apr 08). Dix Noonan Webb attributed the Mionnet 
Berytus coin to Corinth which is more likely. CASS is 
also used on coins of Cassandrea but the reverses of 
that town are practically limited to the head of Zeus 
Ammon or Poseidon.
