Reverse description A tripod occupies the central field, depicted in a frontal, schematic manner with three legs clearly rendered and a bowl or cauldron visible at the top; the type is a common civic emblem on the bronzes of Alexandria Troas, alluding to the Apolline cult of the colony. The colonial legend COL AVG TROAD is distributed around the periphery of the coin, referencing the city's status as Colonia Augusta Troadensis. The overall style is typical of provincial bronze coinage of the Antonine period, with bold, simply modelled relief.
