| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Capricorn, the zodiacal emblem closely associated with Augustus as his birth sign and a symbol of his divine destiny, depicted in right profile with its head turned back over its body. The hybrid creature, combining the foreparts of a goat with a fish tail, is rendered in a compact, stylized manner typical of provincial bronze coinage of the Augustan period. The Greek legend ϹΕΒΑϹΤΟϹ appears above and ΚΙΒΥΡΑΤΩΝ below or around the type, identifying the issuing city of Cibyra and the honorific title of Augustus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cibyra had been forcibly incorporated into Roman provincial administration by the consul Lucius Murena in 84 BC, stripped of its regional dominance after siding poorly in the Mithridatic conflicts. By the Augustan period the city was making its loyalties conspicuous through exactly this kind of civic bronze coinage — local production, Greek legends, imperial name front and center.
The conventus system meant Cibyra served as an assize center, giving the city administrative relevance that its coinage reflects.
