| Reverse description | The Capitoline she-wolf (lupa Romana) stands to the right with head turned back to the left, suckling the twins Romulus and Remus below her body — the legendary Romulean type directly referencing the Roman colonial foundation mythology of the city. The type evokes Alexandria Troas's status as a Roman colonia. The colonial legend COL AVG TROA is distributed in the field. The composition is rendered in low relief characteristic of local provincial bronze issues. |
