| Beschrijving keerzijde | The ethnic legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ('of the Cyzicenes') is inscribed in three lines across the field, entirely enclosed within a finely tied laurel wreath. The wreath, composed of paired leaves with berries, is tied at the base and fills the flan. The composition is characteristic of the simple civic bronze issues struck at Cyzicus under Commodus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus was among the most prolific civic minting authorities in the Conventus of Cyzicus during the second century, and issues for Commodus from this city cluster tightly in the early years of his sole reign following Marcus Aurelius's death in 180 AD. The city's mint activity was tied closely to its status as the administrative hub of the conventus, producing bronze for local circulation rather than imperial directive.
At 17mm and in bronze, this piece would have handled everyday transactions in a city still wealthy from its position on the Propontis trade routes.
