| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed, and paludamentum-draped bust of Emperor Commodus, depicted with a long beard, facing right and seen from the rear. The obverse legend encircles the portrait, reading COMMODVS ANTONINVS A, rendered in Latin capitals. The bust presentation, with the figure viewed from behind, is a distinctive artistic convention employed in the provincial coinage of Alexandria Troas. The combination of the cuirass and the military cloak underscores the emperor's role as commander-in-chief. |
