Ilium — the Roman city built over the ruins of Troy — traded aggressively on its mythological heritage throughout the imperial period, and the accession of Marcus Aurelius in 161 AD gave the city fresh occasion to issue civic bronzes flattering the new emperor. The conventus of Adramyteum, one of the judicial districts of Asia, encompassed dozens of small mints whose output was largely tied to festival cycles and civic embassies rather than any sustained monetary need.
Ilium's coins from this period are thinly documented in die studies, and surface finds from the Troad remain the primary source for die linkage research.
