Æ24 - Commodus COL AVG TRoA

Alexandria Troas occupied a strategically critical position on the Troad coast, and its colonial status — granted under Augustus — gave it the right to strike autonomous bronze coinage that persisted well into the Severan period. The city's mint was notably active during Commodus's reign, producing a range of bronze denominations that circulated locally alongside Roman imperial issues. The abbreviation COL AVG TRoA on this type refers to Colonia Augusta Troas, the official colonial title the city carried from its Augustan refoundation.
