Æ21 - Domitian ϹΥ-ΡΙ, ΚΑ-ΒΙΡ (across field)

Syros, one of the smaller Cycladic islands, retained the right to strike civic bronze under the Flavians — a privilege that was neither guaranteed nor uniform across the Greek provinces. The Kabeiroi invoked in this issue's field inscription connect the coinage to a mystery cult tradition with roots in the pre-Greek Aegean, one the island community clearly found worth advertising on official bronze. Local civic issues of this type ceased entirely within a generation, making the Domitian-era series among the last attestations of independent Syriote minting.
