| Beschrijving keerzijde | A winged caduceus, its staff set vertically on a small base, entwined by two confronted serpents whose heads rise toward the wings at the summit; the type serves as an emblem of commerce and divine favour befitting Cyzicus as a major trading city. The encircling Greek legend reads ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΔΙϹ ΝΕΟΚΟΡ, proclaiming the city's prestigious status as twice-neocorate, i.e. twice honoured as a guardian of an imperial cult temple. The design is rendered in relatively high relief for a provincial bronze, with the caduceus occupying the full height of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The title ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΣ — rendered here in its abbreviated form — reflects a status Cyzicus had to fight to retain. The city held the honor of imperial temple wardenship twice over, the ΔΙϹ ΝΕΟΚΟΡ legend being an explicit civic advertisement of that double distinction. Under Caracalla, such titles were politically charged: he granted and occasionally revoked neokorate status as leverage over provincial cities competing fiercely for Roman favor and the commercial privileges that followed.
