| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of the emperor Caracalla facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic back-view presentation common to the colonial coinage of Alexandria Troas. The effigy shows the emperor in military dress, with the laurel wreath and cuirass rendered in low relief. The surrounding Latin legend runs along the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits a heavy green and brown patina consistent with prolonged burial, which obscures fine surface detail. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas held the status of a Roman colony — Colonia Augusta Troas — granted under Augustus, which gave it the right to produce its own colonial bronze coinage. That colonial identity was a point of civic pride maintained aggressively across centuries, and the COL AVG TROA legend on issues like this one was never merely administrative shorthand. Caracalla's reign saw active use of provincial and colonial mints as the emperor moved frequently on campaign, and the city's position on the Troad coast made it a logistical waypoint of genuine strategic value.
