This genuine NGC certified ancient Roman coin features Emperor Gallienus, who ruled between 253-268 AD.
Alexandria Troas was an ancient Greek and later Roman city located on the Aegean coast of northwestern Asia Minor, near the Troad region. Founded by Antigonus around 306 BCE and later expanded by Lysimachus, it became a significant port city linking Anatolia with Macedonia and the wider Mediterranean. Under the Romans, it thrived as a commercial hub and was granted the status of a Roman colonia by Emperor Augustus. The city is also notable in early Christian history, as the Apostle Paul visited it during his missionary journeys.
