Æ17 - Hadrian Κ-Υ/Ζ-Ι

Cyzicus was among the most economically active cities in Mysia during the 2nd century, and its civic bronze coinage under Hadrian reflects the administrative reorganization of the conventus system — Roman judicial circuits that also functioned as focal points for local coin production. The letters flanking the obverse and reverse fields are magistrate initials, a Cyzicene habit that has allowed scholars to partially reconstruct sequences of civic officials across Hadrianic issues, though the specific individuals behind most abbreviations remain unidentified.
