884 Priamus is a Trojan asteroid that orbits the Sun at the same distance as the planet Jupiter. It is located in the trailing L5 Lagrangian point.
The minor planet was discovered by Max Wolf on September 22, 1917 in Heidelberg, Germany.
Photometric observations of this asteroid during 2001 were used to build a light curve showing a rotation period of 6.894 ± 0.020 hours with a brightness variation of 0.26 ± 0.01 magnitude.[1]
