| 裏面の説明 | Heracles standing right, holding a wreath in his extended right hand and a club in his left, with the Nemean lion skin draped over his right arm. He faces the Trojan princess Hesione, who stands to the left. Behind Hesione rises a tower, alluding to the walls of Troy from which she was rescued. In the lower field, waves and a sea monster are depicted beneath the figures, referencing the mythological episode of her exposure. The reverse legend names the issuing city of Ilium in the genitive. |

Ilium — the city built on or near the ruins of ancient Troy — leveraged its mythological prestige aggressively under the Severan dynasty, issuing civic bronzes that tied the emperor's legitimacy to the Trojan ancestry Romans had claimed since the Republic. Septimius Severus, who needed every legitimizing tool available after seizing power in the civil wars of 193, was a receptive audience for such flattery.
The Conventus of Adramyteum administered a stretch of the Troad that included Ilium, and civic bronzes from this jurisdiction are underrepresented in major collections relative to the better-documented Pergamene issues.
