| Reverse description | The colonial founder, depicted as a togatus priest, advances to the right while guiding a plough drawn by two yoked oxen, also moving right; the scene commemorates the ritual ploughing of the sulcus primigenius marking the foundation boundary of the Roman colony. The composition is rendered in the characteristic provincial style of Alexandria Troas, with the oxen shown in profile and the figure of the priest in low relief. The colonial legend COL AVG TRoA (Colonia Augusta Troas) is disposed around the type in the field. |
