Why is the name Priam’s Treasure misleading?

The name "Priam’s Treasure" is misleading because the artifacts were discovered in the ruins of Troy II, a settlement that predates the era of the Homeric Trojan War by centuries.12

The archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the trove of gold, silver, and bronze objects in 1873 and mistakenly identified the site as the Homeric Troy of King Priam. However, later archaeological consensus identified Troy VIIa as the likely capital of King Priam, as it shows evidence of being destroyed by fire and capture during the appropriate historical period. Because the treasure originated from a much older layer (Troy II), the association with the legendary king is chronologically inaccurate.123
