As the son of craftspeople, however humble they might have been, Priam recognized goods of quality manufacture when he saw them.
So when other people were panicking trying to grab gold coins from the treasury, Priam casually grabbed all the rapiers, because they were much more lightweight than the equivalent value in gold coins and easily sold to snobbish nobles.
There was also a very distinctive pair of boots in the treasury, mostly so in that they were completely unremarkable-looking in a room full of gold, jewels or antiques. In the course of all the looting, they had gone completely ignored.
Priam knew that normal-looking boots wouldn't be left in a treasury without a reason. So he kicked off his own and put them on.
Yup. Now he felt like he could keep pace with a horse. Or outpace a fire, as the case might've been. Just as he'd thought, this was some kind of magic item.
He exited the treasury, whistling in the face of all the panicking, shoving and screaming. As much of a pain in the ass as this'd been (he thought, having not really done all that much,) it was worth the price of admission.
