| Reverse description | The satyr Marsyas depicted nude, standing to the right, with his right arm raised aloft in a gesture of exuberance, and a wineskin draped over his left shoulder. This type is a well-known civic emblem associated with the colonia of Alexandria Troas, referencing the city's connection to the myth of Marsyas. The figure is rendered in a bold, somewhat provincial style with the legend COL AVG TROA distributed in the field around the central device. The composition reflects the local pride of the Roman colony in asserting its colonial status through the use of the title Augusta. |
