Historical context

Antandros, also called Antandrus, was an ancient Greek city located in the Troad region of Anatolia, on the northern shore of the Gulf of Adramyttium. This bronze civic coin was struck under Titus, who served as Roman emperor from AD 79 to 81. A member of the Flavian dynasty, Titus succeeded his father, Vespasian, after rising to prominence as a military commander in Judaea and capturing Jerusalem in AD 70.
