| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse depicted grazing to the right, its head lowered toward the ground line, rendered in profile with a naturalistically curled mane. The figure occupies the central field of the coin and is a well-known type associated with the colonial coinage of Alexandria Troas, referencing the famous herds of sacred horses maintained in the region. The colonial legend is divided, with COL AVG appearing in the upper field above the horse and TROA inscribed in the exergue below the ground line. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas held its colonial status — and the right to strike bronze coinage — by virtue of Augustus's formal elevation of the city, a privilege that local magistrates exploited aggressively through the Severan period. Under Caracalla specifically, the colony's output expanded considerably, likely tied to his eastern campaigns and the movement of troops through the Troad region, which would have created genuine demand for small bronze in circulation. The city never lost sight of its Augustan founding myth.
