| Additional information |
Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony — Colonia Alexandria Augusta Troas — founded by Antigonus and refounded by Lysimachus before Augustus formalized its colonial status. That standing gave the city the right to mint in Latin rather than Greek, an unusual privilege among Asia Minor's civic coinages and one the city exercised continuously through the Severan period. Marcus Aurelius died in 180 AD at Vindobona, making this a late issue from his reign, struck while he was still campaigning on the Danubian frontier against the Marcomanni.
