| Reverse description | Helmeted Hector, the Trojan hero, depicted in heroic martial guise, standing upright in a galloping quadriga moving to the right, brandishing a transverse spear and gripping a round shield. The composition evokes the Homeric tradition closely associated with Ilium, the city that claimed descent from ancient Troy. The reverse legend ΕΚΤΩΡ ΙΛΙΕΩΝ appears in the field or exergue, identifying the figure as Hector and attributing the issue to the people of Ilium. The dynamic rendering of the quadriga reflects the accomplished die-cutting of eastern provincial workshops under the Severan-Antonine transition. |
