| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse presents a divided composition: to the left, the cult statue of Apollo Smintheus stands atop a short column, facing right, with a quiver at his shoulder, holding a patera in his extended right hand and a bow in his left; to the right, Alexander the Great on horseback advances left in military dress, his right arm raised in a commanding gesture, evoking the legendary connection between Alexandria Troas and Alexander's Trojan heritage. The colonial legend COL AVG TROA is distributed across the field. The overall composition reflects the city's pride in its twin divine and heroic patronage, rendered in the vigorous but somewhat coarse style of provincial Severan bronzes. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Alexandria Troas held the status of a Roman colonia — a distinction granted by Augustus and later reinforced under successive emperors — which gave it the right to issue autonomous bronze coinage styled after Roman practice rather than the Greek civic tradition. That colonial status is precisely why the mint's output looks so different from other Asian Greek bronzes of the same period. Caracalla's reign saw unusually heavy use of this mint, possibly connected to his movements through Asia Minor during his eastern campaigns after 214 AD.
