| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of the Troad region. The bust displays characteristic Roman imperial portraiture with a laurel wreath, the facial features showing the emperor's well-known strong profile. A partially visible Greek legend surrounds the portrait, abbreviated due to the irregular flan. The overall style reflects the local civic mint tradition of the Conventus of Adramyteum during the early 2nd century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gargara was a minor coastal settlement in the Troad, perennially overshadowed by its neighbors and notable in antiquity chiefly for a proverb — "to need all the Gargareans" — meaning to require a vast, undifferentiated crowd. That a community so marginal in ancient estimation produced civic bronze under Trajan is itself informative: the emperor's reorganization of provincial administration in Asia Minor created conditions in which even small poleis asserted their minting privileges, however briefly.
Issues from Gargara are rare in any collection. The conventus of Adramyteum was not a prolific producer, and Gargara's output within it was minimal.
