| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Syrgastes, the local civic deity of Tium, depicted standing to the left in the field, nude or lightly draped, extending a patera over an eagle perched at his feet, and holding a long sceptre in his left hand. The figure is rendered in a bold, if somewhat provincial, style characteristic of Bithynian civic bronze coinage of the Antonine period. The encircling Greek legend ΖΕΥϹ ϹΥΡΓΑϹΤΗϹ ΤΙΑΝΩΝ identifies the deity and the issuing city of Tium. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The epithet ΖΕΥϹ ϹΥΡΓΑϹΤΗϹ — Zeus Syrgastes — is not a widely attested cult title, and its precise meaning and local origins remain debated among scholars of Bithynian religion. Tium was a small coastal polis on the Black Sea shore of Bithynia, frequently overshadowed by its neighbors Amastris and Heraclea Pontica, and its civic coinage under Antoninus Pius represents one of the few windows into its local cult life. The cult name likely reflects a regional Anatolian syncretism absorbed into the Zeus pantheon.
