| Reverse description | The Lupa Romana, the she-wolf of Rome, strides to the right across a ground line while turning her head back to the left to suckle the divine twins Romulus and Remus, who are depicted crouching beneath her. The composition evokes the founding myth of Rome and emphasizes the colonial status of Alexandria Troas as a Roman colony. The colonial abbreviation legend is distributed around the field, with TROA or TRO visible in the exergue below the ground line, while COL ALE AVG appears partially in the upper field. |
