The "Treasure of Priam" refers to a collection of gold and other valuable artifacts discovered by archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann in the 1870s at the ancient site of Troy in modern-day Turkey. Schliemann believed these treasures belonged to Priam, the legendary king of Troy mentioned in Homer's epic, the Iliad. The treasure includes gold jewelry, ceremonial items, and various other precious objects. The discovery sparked significant interest in the historical accuracy of Homer's works and the existence of Troy. However, the authenticity of the treasure's connection to Priam has been debated among scholars. Some argue that the artifacts date back to an earlier period than the events described in the Iliad.
