| Reverse description | Elaborate cult scene set within the field: at left, the cult statue of Apollo Smintheus stands atop a short column, facing right, holding a patera in the extended right hand and a bow in the left; at right, a bearded male figure identified as Alexander (the founder hero), standing left, holds a patera and a long sceptre; between the two figures, a lighted tripod entwined by a serpent rises from the ground; above the entire scene, an eagle flies to the right, clasping a bucranium in its talons. The reverse legend COL AVGO TRO in Latin capitals identifies the issuing colony of Augusta Troas. |
