| Reverse description | A tripod, the quintessential sacred symbol of Apollo, occupies the central field, rendered with three legs and a circular bowl or cauldron at the top. This reverse type alludes to the Apollonian religious traditions of the Troad region, where the cult of Apollo Smintheus was prominent. The colonial legend is disposed around the type, reading COL AVG TRO, identifying the issuing authority as Colonia Augusta Troas. The overall execution is typical of the rough, provincially struck municipal bronzes of the Severan era. |
