| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse advancing to the right with head lowered in a grazing posture, rendered in a compact and lively style typical of the colonial bronze coinage of Alexandria Troas. The animal stands freely in the field without ground line, its muscular form conveying naturalistic movement. The colonial legend is distributed around the horse in the field and along the periphery, referencing the Augustan foundation of the colony. This grazing horse type is one of the most distinctive and recurring reverse designs of Alexandria Troas. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony founded by Antigonus in the 4th century BC and later refounded by Lysimachus, but it was Augustus who gave it full colonial status — and with it the right to strike bronze coinage in the city's own name. That privilege persisted well into the Severan period, making the city one of the more prolific colonial mints in the Troad. Severus Alexander's reign coincided with renewed administrative pressure on eastern provinces, yet the colonial mint here continued operating without apparent interruption across his thirteen-year rule.
