TROY OVER THE MILLENNIA
Troy VI is the settlement now generally
believed to have been the Troy of Homer's
Iliad. The city is referred to in Hittite texts as
Wilusa, essentially the name used by Homer.
Derivations of this name were Ilios and Ilion,
names later used by the Greeks, and a Latinized
form by the Romans (Ilium). The walls

of the city were extremely thick (5 m) and
high (up to 10 m), and were designed to curve
around the city. Horses were introduced, and
there was evidence that a textile industry
was underway. Ceramics from many regions
support the reconstruction of Troy VI as a
trading culture.
