| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Athena Ilias advancing to the right in the canonical cult image type associated with the sanctuary of Athena at Ilium, echoing the ancient xoanon venerated there. To the right of the figure stands a thymiaterion (incense burner) mounted on a tripod, a cultic attribute referencing ritual practice at the temple. The ethnic legend ΙΛΙ appears in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. The composition is characteristic of Augustan-era civic bronze coinage from the Troad, referencing local religious iconography. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ilium — the Greek city built over the ruins of Troy — held unique propagandistic value for the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Augustus actively cultivated the city's connection to Aeneas and the founding mythology of Rome, and Ilium reciprocated with civic coinage that reinforced the relationship. This small bronze was almost certainly struck for local exchange and votive use near the sanctuary of Athena Ilias, the dominant cult site of the city.
The conventus of Adramyteum administered a coastline dense with ancient Greek foundations, each minting on its own modest scale.
