| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Trojan hero Hector depicted in full military armour, striding vigorously to the right, bearing a large round shield on his left arm and raising a blazing firebrand in his right hand, poised to hurl it at two Greek warships positioned in the right field. The scene references the episode from the Iliad in which Hector leads the assault on the Achaean fleet, reflecting Ilium's civic pride in its Homeric heritage. The reverse legend is distributed across the field identifying the city and the depicted hero. |

Ilium — the city built atop the ruins of Troy — minted this bronze under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, exploiting its mythological identity with characteristic aggression. The city had cultivated imperial favor for centuries by positioning itself as the ancestral homeland of Rome itself, a claim Augustus had taken seriously enough to consider relocating the capital there. Local bronze issues frequently invoked Hector, the city's greatest Homeric champion, as a deliberate assertion of that lineage.
The Conventus of Adramyteum administered a coastline dense with cities competing for prestige mintages. Ilium punched above its actual economic weight throughout the provincial bronze period.
