| Additional information |
Alexandria Troas held the rare distinction of a Roman colonia in the Greek east, a status awarded — likely by Augustus — that granted its citizens full Roman civic rights and exempted them from provincial taxation. The city retained this privileged position through the third century, and its local bronze coinage reflects that civic pride, continuing to be struck under a succession of emperors even as the broader Roman monetary system lurched through crisis. Trebonianus Gallus reigned barely two years before being murdered by his own troops in favor of Aemilianus.
