| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Commodus facing right, depicted with short beard, clad in cuirass and paludamentum, the figure presented from a rear three-quarter perspective. The obverse legend ΑΥ ΚΑΙ Μ ΑΥΡΗ ΚΟΜΜΟΔΟϹ runs around the periphery in Greek script, identifying the emperor by his imperial titulature. The portrait reflects the characteristic military presentation of Commodus in provincial bronze coinage of the eastern Conventus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ilium — the city built over or near the ruins of Troy — leveraged its mythological identity aggressively under Roman imperial patronage, and coin issues invoking Priam belong to that deliberate civic program. The appearance of ΠΡΙΑΜΟϹ ΙΛΙΕΩΝ during the early years of Commodus's sole reign likely reflects the city's continued cultivation of imperial favor by advertising its Homeric heritage, a strategy that had earned Ilium tax exemptions and benefactions from Julius Caesar onward.
The conventus of Adramyteum administered a coastline dense with cities competing for prestige through exactly this kind of mythological one-upmanship.
