Æ24 - Severus Alexander COL (AL (E (X) (A (V (G) TR (A)

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.
