| Beschrijving keerzijde | Drunken Hercules stumbling to the right, his weight supported by a satyr standing immediately behind him who braces the hero's body; additional satyrs stand to either side offering further support, composing a lively Dionysiac scene well-attested in the coinage of the Troad. The group is rendered in a dynamic, provincial baroque style typical of Alexandrian Troas issues under Caracalla. The colonial legend is distributed across the reverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony — Colonia Augusta Troas — refounded under Augustus on the site of Antigoneia, itself built by Antigonus I over the ruins of several older Troad settlements. The city retained colonial status and the right to issue bronze coinage through the third century, a privilege that accounts for the Latin legends unusual on provincial bronze in a predominantly Greek-speaking region. Caracalla's reign saw a notable uptick in Troas colonial output, likely tied to his redistribution of civic rights following the Constitutio Antoniniana of 212 AD.
