| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of the Emperor Caracalla facing right, depicted with characteristic youthful features within a dotted border. The imperial effigy is rendered in the typical provincial style of the Troas region, with the laurel wreath clearly articulated around the head. The surrounding Latin legend reads M AV ANTONINVS PIVS AVG, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show heavy patination consistent with circulation wear. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing nude figure of Marsyas depicted facing right, raised upon a pedestal or base, with his right arm lifted high in a characteristic gesture. Over his left shoulder he carries a wineskin, a standard iconographic attribute of this satyr associated with the cult of Alexandria Troas. The type follows the well-known statue of Marsyas, which served as a civic emblem of the Roman colony. The colonial legend COL AVG TROAD is arranged in the field around the figure, affirming the coin's origin as a product of the Colonia Augusta Troadensis. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony — Colonia Augusta Troadensis — founded by Antigonus and refounded under Augustus, sitting on the Aegean coast near the ruins of ancient Troy. Its colonial status entitled it to issue bronze coinage under its own authority, and the city leaned hard into that privilege under the Severan dynasty. Caracalla's reign saw a notable surge in provincial bronze production across Asia Minor, partly because his constitutio Antoniniana of 212 AD extended Roman citizenship empire-wide, and civic mints responded with increased output asserting their Roman identity.
Alexandria Troas was among the more prolific colonial mints in the Troad during this period.
