| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing an Attic helmet adorned with a laurel wreath along the bowl. The goddess's hair flows in thick locks beneath the helmet, and her finely rendered facial features display the characteristic Hellenistic idealism of the period. The high-crested helmet is shown with a turned-up cheekpiece, and the overall rendering is in the style of late Hellenistic civic coinage of the Troad. The field is plain, with no legend on the obverse. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Athena Ilias, the cult goddess of Ilion, depicted standing in right profile, holding a distaff in her extended right hand and a spear in her left. An owl, symbol of Athena, stands to the right at her feet with head facing. In the inner left field, a monogram appears above a facing gorgoneion head. The magistrate's name ΣΩΤΗΡΙΔΟΥ appears in the exergue, flanked by the cult title AΘHNAΣ IΛIAΔOΣ in the field, identifying this issue as struck under the authority of the sanctuary of Athena Ilias. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ilion's civic coinage of this period reflects the city's carefully cultivated relationship with Rome — the Trojans claimed ancestral kinship with the Romans through Aeneas, and Roman officials were conspicuously generous in return, granting Ilion tax exemptions and rebuilding funds after an earthquake in 85 BC. The magistrate name Soterides appears on a small cluster of dies within Bellinger's sequence, placing this issue somewhere within the half-century following the Peace of Apameia, when the Attalid kingdom absorbed much of the region and Ilion navigated its loyalties accordingly.
