| Beschrijving keerzijde | Demeter enthroned left upon an ornate throne, her robes falling in draped folds, holding an ear of grain and poppies in her extended hand. The seated figure is rendered in the classical tradition common to Phrygian civic coinage under the Julio-Claudian dynasty. A circular Greek legend naming the magistrate Magytes Neoteros and the city of Hierapolis surrounds the central type within a beaded border. |

The epithet ΜΑΓΥΤΗΣ ΝΕΩΤΕΡΟΣ — "the younger Magus" — applied to Nero in this provincial issue from Hierapolis in Phrygia reflects a local honorific tradition with roots in Persian religious vocabulary, likely carried into the region through centuries of Achaemenid influence. The city was positioning a sixteen-year-old emperor, fresh to the throne after Claudius's death in 54 AD, within a framework its population found meaningful. Hierapolis sat within the Conventus of Cibyra, an administrative grouping whose civic coinages under the early Principate show marked individuality in their honorific titulature.
