Æ23 - Commodus COL AVG TRO (D)

Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony founded by Antigonus and later refounded by Lysimachus before Augustus gave it full colonial status — a lineage the city advertised aggressively on its coinage for centuries. The bronze issues of Commodus's early reign from this mint cluster tightly around 180–183, coinciding with his consolidation of power after Marcus Aurelius's death and before the increasingly erratic behavior of his later years began to color imperial relations with eastern cities.

The Conventus of Adramyteum's administrative grouping placed Alexandria Troas among a cluster of Mysian cities whose civic bronze output under Commodus remains sparsely documented compared to the larger Lydian or Ionian mints.
