| Reverse description | Aeneas advancing right, depicted in the act of bearing his aged father Anchises upon his shoulders while leading his young son Ascanius by the hand — the canonical Trojan flight scene closely associated with Ilium's legendary heritage. In the exergue below the ground line, a she-wolf reclines to the left, suckling the twins Romulus and Remus, a powerful iconographic link between Troy and Rome. The reverse legend naming the Ilians encircles the field. The composition emphasizes the city's mythological claim as the ancestral home of Roman civilization. |
