| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Lupa Romana, the legendary she-wolf of Rome, depicted standing to the right with head turned back to the left, suckling the twin infants Romulus and Remus who are visible beneath her body. The animal is rendered with compact musculature and a raised tail, standing on a plain ground line. The colonial legend COL AVG TROA arches above in the field, affirming Alexandria Troas's status as a Roman colony and invoking the Romulean founding myth as a statement of civic Roman identity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony established by Antigonus and later refounded by Lysimachus before Augustus formalized its colonial status — the COL AVG designation in the city's title reflecting that Augustan grant directly. As a colonia, it held the right to strike its own bronze coinage using Latin legends, a privilege that set it apart from the Greek-titled cities surrounding it in the Troad. Issues under Caracalla are numerous enough to suggest active local use, probably tied to the city's role as a port of call on the coastal route between the Aegean and the Propontis.
