背面描述	The she-wolf walking left, depicted in the Capitoline tradition, suckling the twin infants Romulus and Remus below. The animal is shown with its head turned, in a style evoking Rome's founding myth as adopted by the Roman colony of Alexandria Troas. The colonial legend COL ALEXAN TROA is distributed around the field, referencing the city's status as a Roman colonia. A ground line is present beneath the figural group.

附加信息	Alexandria Troas, a Roman colony on the northwest Aegean coast, held the rare privilege of producing autonomous bronze coinage under its own colonial authority — a status that distinguished it from the majority of provincial mints operating strictly under imperial oversight. The city's colonial standing, granted formally by Augustus and reaffirmed through successive reigns, gave its magistrates unusual latitude in local coinage decisions. The wolf type issued under Severus Alexander connects directly to the city's claimed Trojan heritage and its self-identification with Rome's own founding mythology. SNG Copenhagen 161 remains the closest parallel; exact die matches to that specimen are worth examining.
