| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Severus Alexander facing right, seen from the rear, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the typical provincial style of the Severan period, with the laureate wreath clearly delineated. A circular legend surrounds the bust within a beaded border. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The Capitoline she-wolf (lupa romana) strides to the right, head turned back to the left, suckling the twin infants Romulus and Remus who crouch beneath her. The type evokes the legendary foundation of Rome and the colonial status of Alexandria Troas as a Roman colony. A ground line divides the field from the exergue, where the colonial legend TROAC appears. A partial legend is visible in the upper field, enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Alexandria Troas, a Roman colony founded under Augustus on the site of Antigonia, was one of the few cities in the Troas region to hold full colonial status with the *ius Italicum* — a fiscal privilege that exempted its citizens from provincial land and poll taxes. That standing is almost certainly why the city's bronze issues under Severus Alexander are so assertive in their colonial titulature, even when the die-cutters abbreviated or misspelled it. The garbled legends on this type — AV AXAND and TROAC among them — are not random errors; they reflect local workshop practice and are consistent enough across specimens to be die-specific rather than accidental.
