| Reverse description | Cult statue of Apollo Smintheus standing right atop a short column at left, holding a patera in his extended right hand and a bow in his left; to the right, a male figure identified as Alexander (the eponymous founder of Alexandria Troas) stands facing left, holding a patera and sceptre. Between the two figures rises a lighted tripod entwined by a serpent. Above the scene, an eagle flies to the right clutching a bucranium in its talons. The colonial legend COL ALEX AVG is disposed around the field, attesting to the city's status as a Roman colonia under the Augustan title. |
