When Heinrich Schliemann excavated at Hissarlik in Turkey, the site he believed was ancient Troy, he uncovered many gold objects that became known as Priam's Treasure (Priam was the legendary king of Troy during the Trojan War). Among the pieces was this gold diadem, shown here as it would have been worn in ancient times.
