Crocodile right chained to palm branch; wreath with long ties above, palms below.RPC I 524; RIC² 158.The name of the city Nemausus derives from a Celtic god worshipped by the Volcae Arecomici, who had established their capital here, later transformed by Augustus into Colonia Augusta Nemausus (27 BC). The symbol of the city was the Egyptian crocodile chained to a palm tree that appears on the reverse of this coin series, which features the portraits of Augustus and his lieutenant Agrippa on the obverse. The types are a clear allusion to the founding of the city by legionaries returning from the Egyptian campaigns and to Augustus' victory, thanks to Agrippa, over Mark Antony at the Battle of Actium (31 BC).

The decurions of Alexandria Troas were part of the city’s local elite; under Augustus, the city became a Roman colony known as Colonia Augusta Troadensis.

CNG E-168, lot 108 (Septimius; for rev. type).UniqueThis coin provides the most precious and detailed depiction of the Temple of Priapus in Lampsacus, of which very few archaeological remains survive. Lampsacus was the main center of this cult, and from there it spread and flourished, particularly during the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
According to the most common tradition, Priapus was the son of Dionysus and Aphrodite. It is said that he was born a horrible child, as a result of his mother’s beauty and lust, which Hera wished to punish in an exemplary manner. Where he was worshipped, in the Hellespont, the animal offered to him was the donkey, which the Greeks regarded as a symbol of lust. Priapus was worshipped as the god of fertility, protector of gardens, vineyards, and male virility. The first fruits of the fields and gardens were also offered to him, along with libations of milk and honey. He was often depicted as a bearded man with a oversized phallus, a symbol of fertility, and holding a sickle to indicate his role as guardian of the gardens. Condition: Good fine.Weight: 11.08 g.
