| Reverse description | Two togate priests advancing to the right, each guiding an ox as they perform the ritual act of ploughing the sacred furrow (sulcus primigenius), a customary scene commemorating the foundation or re-foundation of a Roman colony. The figures and animals are depicted in a schematic provincial style above a ground line, with the composition filling the central field. This foundational type is closely associated with colonial coinage of Alexandria Troas. |
