| Additional information |
Alexandria Troas retained its colonial status — and the right to strike autonomous bronze coinage — largely because Augustus had refounded it as a Roman colony centuries earlier, a privilege the city jealously maintained through the imperial period. By the time of Trebonianus Gallus, the colonial mint at Troas was one of only a handful in the eastern provinces still producing local bronze with any regularity, the broader civic coinage tradition having collapsed across most of Asia Minor well before his short reign ended with his murder near Terni in 253.
