| Reverse description | The Capitoline she-wolf (Lupa Capitolina) depicted standing to the right, her head turned back, suckling the twins Romulus and Remus who crouch beneath her. The scene is set on a ground line, emphasizing the foundational Roman myth and the colony's proud Italic heritage. A Latin colonial legend surrounds the central type in the field. The relief is bold and well-centred, characteristic of the provincial bronze coinage of Alexandria Troas under the reign of Valerian and Gallienus. |
