Æ20 - Caracalla ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝ (Ν) Β ΝΕΟΚΟ

Cyzicus held the title of Neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — twice by Caracalla's reign, a status aggressively pursued by cities across the Greek East as it conferred prestige, tax privileges, and priority standing at the Panhellenic games. The abbreviation ΝΕΟΚΟ on this issue likely references that second grant, awarded under Caracalla himself, making the title simultaneously honorific and politically calculated flattery.
