| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony — Colonia Alexandria Augusta Troadensis — planted on the site of ancient Antigonia by Lysimachus and refounded under Augustus. Its colonial status granted the right to strike bronze coinage in a Roman idiom, and issues under Severus Alexander continued that privilege through his full thirteen-year reign. The colony's mint was unusually productive by provincial standards, supplying a trading port that served both Aegean and overland traffic toward the Troad interior.
The VI#4041 reference situates this piece within von Fritze's systematic cataloguing of Troas coinage, a classification still foundational to the series.
