Alexandria Troas held the rare distinction of being a Roman colony in the Greek East, a status granted by Augustus and later reinforced by Caracalla, which explains the COL AVG abbreviation marking its coins as products of a Latin-chartered city surrounded by Greek civic issues. Under Trebonianus Gallus, the city's mint remained active despite his reign being consumed almost entirely by plague — the Antonine Plague's successor, likely smallpox, which Gallus was accused of prolonging by paying tribute to the Goths rather than funding military campaigns to contain their movements.
