| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Idaios, the principal deity of Mount Ida venerated at Ilium, seated on a throne to the right, his semi-draped figure rendered with the god holding a tall sceptre upright in his left hand and extending his right hand to hold a small cult statue of Athena Ilias. The Greek legend ΔΙΑ ΙΔΑΙΟΝ ΙΛΙΕΙϹ ('The Ilieans [honour] Zeus Idaios') is distributed around the field, attesting to the civic pride of the mint city in its patron deity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ilium — the ancient city built atop the ruins of Troy — leveraged its mythological prestige aggressively under Roman administration, minting civic bronzes that tied the imperial house to the Trojan founding legend. Septimius Severus was a particularly receptive audience: he cultivated connections to Rome's Trojan origins as part of his legitimizing program after seizing power in the civil wars of 193. The Zeus Idaios cult referenced in this coin's legend was centered on Mount Ida nearby, the peak from which, in myth, the gods watched the Trojan War unfold.
