| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful draped and cuirassed bust of Commodus, seen from the rear, facing right, with paludamentum over the left shoulder. The effigy presents the future emperor as Caesar in a three-quarter rear view, a distinctive provincial die-cutting convention. The circular Greek legend surrounds the bust in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ilium — the Roman city built over the ruins of Troy — traded heavily on its mythological identity throughout the imperial period, styling itself the living heir to Homeric epic. This bronze was struck during the co-rule of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus, a period when the city actively cultivated imperial favor by emphasizing its Trojan ancestry, which Roman tradition held as the origin point of Rome itself through Aeneas.
The reference to Hector on a civic bronze is a pointed piece of civic propaganda — no other city could claim him as a local hero with any geographic legitimacy.
