| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony founded under Augustus — hence the COL AVG designation — built on the bones of earlier Antigoneia, which Alexander's successor Antigonus had established near the site of ancient Troy. By Caracalla's reign, the city was prosperous enough to maintain an active civic mint producing a wide range of bronze denominations for local circulation. Caracalla himself visited the Troad and famously staged elaborate ceremonies at the tumulus of Achilles, with whom he had a well-documented personal obsession.
