Reverse description A horse shown grazing to the right, its head lowered toward the ground, rendered in a sturdy, compact provincial style characteristic of the Alexandrian Troas mint. The animal occupies the central field with the colonial legend distributed around the periphery. The type alludes to the renowned horse-breeding traditions and equestrian culture of the Troad region. The overall execution reflects the somewhat coarse but vigorous die-cutting typical of mid-third-century colonial bronzes from this mint.
