Apollo Smintheus
ALEXANDRIA TROAS (former Antigoneia, in the region of ancient Troy), 163/2 B.C. A silver tetradrachm depicting the laureate head of Apollo on the obverse, and Apollo Smi(n)theus, with drawn bow, on the reverse. The drawn bow along with the epithet “Smintheus” recalls the incident during the Trojan War when Apollo sent a plague throughout the Greek camp by shooting his arrows. See Bellinger, Troy, the Coins, p. 94, A134.
