| 背面描述 | The Capitoline She-wolf standing right, suckling the twins Romulus and Remus beneath her, rendered on a ground line. The scene is a direct allusion to the Roman foundation myth and the colony's status as a Roman colonia. The she-wolf's head is turned back toward the viewer, and the infants are depicted reaching upward. The colonial legend appears below and around the type, with TRO prominently visible in the lower exergual area. The composition is typical of the Alexandrian Troas colonial bronze series of the Valerian-Gallienus joint reign. |

Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony founded by Antigonus around 310 BC and refounded by Lysimachus, before Augustus elevated it to full colonial status — a rank the city advertised aggressively on its bronze coinage for centuries. The joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, father and son ruling simultaneously from 253 AD, produced a remarkable volume of provincial issues as the empire fractured under the pressure of simultaneous frontier wars and the catastrophic plague of Cyprian.
Valerian's capture by Shapur I of Persia in 260 AD — the first Roman emperor taken prisoner in battle — effectively ended the joint reign. Issues bearing both names date to the narrow window before that humiliation.
