Æ24 - Severus Alexander COL A (E) AV TRO (C)

Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony planted on the Troad coast, and its colonial bronzes under Severus Alexander reflect a mint operating with genuine civic pride — the city had obtained full Italian rights under Caracalla, meaning it paid no provincial taxes and ran its own affairs with unusual autonomy. That status likely funded the sustained coin production visible across this reign.

The reference VI#4012 places this within Bellinger's 1961 corpus, still the foundational catalogue for Troas colonial bronzes despite its age.
