| Reverse description | The cult statue of Apollo Smintheus depicted standing to right atop a short column or base, shown in the hieratic frontal-facing style typical of the famous sanctuary at Chryse. The deity holds a patera in his outstretched right hand and a bow in his left, with a quiver visible over his shoulder. This reverse type alludes directly to the celebrated Temple of Apollo Smintheus in the Troad, a major religious centre of the region. The colonial legend COL AVG TROAD is arranged in the field around the figure, affirming the Augustan colonial status of Alexandria Troas. |
