<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 4169514, member: 74834&quot;]This is a bronze coin of Alexandria Troas, a town in the upper west of Asia Minor, now Turkey, near Byzantium. Like you may <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-horse-of-erichthonius-on-coins-of-alexandria-troas.351717/#post-3945540" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-horse-of-erichthonius-on-coins-of-alexandria-troas.351717/#post-3945540">read in this thread</a>, it is not just a horse grazing, but it looks as if it has found something. And like our very knowledgeable member [USER=103829]@Jochen1[/USER] has stated, this might point to a founding myth of the city of Alexandria Troas. Maybe the horse found a plant, or maybe a spot of something - a spring? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1074277[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>AE19 Gallienus, Alexandria Troas. Obv.
