Commentary

Au revers la statue cultuelle d’Athéna fait penser au palladium avec lequel Énée s’échappa de Troie en flammes et qui devint un des symboles de la civilisation romaine.
On the reverse, the cult statue of Athena is reminiscent of the palladium with which Aeneas escaped from burning Troy and which became one of the symbols of Roman civilization
