Æ23 - Elagabalus COL ALEXA AVG

Alexandria Troas had been elevated to colonial status under Caracalla, and its coinage under Elagabalus continued the Latin-legend civic bronzes characteristic of Roman colonies in the Greek East — an unusual blend that sets these issues apart from the Greek imperial coinage struck elsewhere in the conventus. The city's mint was unusually active under the Severan dynasty relative to neighboring communities.

Elagabalus's four-year reign ended with his murder by the Praetorian Guard in March 222, his body dragged through the streets of Rome before being thrown into the Tiber.
