| Beschrijving keerzijde | An eagle stands facing on a caduceus, its wings fully spread and head turned to the left, rendered in the bold provincial style characteristic of Cibyra's civic bronze coinage under the Roman Empire. The caduceus, symbol of Hermes and commercial prosperity, serves as the bird's perch and occupies the lower field. The ethnic legend ΚΙΒΥΡΑΤΩΝ is inscribed around the periphery of the field. The design is contained within a dotted border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cibyra was one of the few cities in the Conventus of Cibyra — the judicial district that bore its name — to mint consistently under Gordian III, reflecting its administrative prominence in the Lycian-Phrygian borderland. The city had a long history of punching above its weight: it was famously described by Strabo as commanding a military force of 30,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry at its peak, an extraordinary claim for a provincial town.
The reference VII.1#665 places this within the standard corpus for Cibyran bronzes, a series that remains incompletely die-studied.
