| Reverse description | The archaic xoanon-style cult statue of Athena Ilias depicted standing to the right, wearing a kalathos (cylindrical headdress) upon her head, holding a spear in one hand and a spindle or distaff in the other, reflecting the venerable religious traditions of the sanctuary at Ilium. The image faithfully reproduces the renowned ancient idol housed in the temple of Athena at Troy, a type well attested on the civic coinage of Ilium throughout the Imperial period. The ethnic legend ΙΛΙΕΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The reverse field shows typical surface roughness associated with heavily circulated provincial bronze. |
