| Additional information |
Ilium — the city built over the ruins of Troy — leveraged its mythological status aggressively under Augustus, positioning itself as the ancestral homeland of the gens Julia through Aeneas. The city received notable imperial favor as a result, including tax exemptions reportedly granted by Julius Caesar and confirmed by Augustus. This local bronze, likely struck for small-denomination civic exchange, was issued within the Conventus of Adramyteum, the administrative district governing the Troad under Roman provincial organization of Asia.
The magistrate name partially preserved in the obverse legend remains unresolved in prosopographical records for this conventus.
