| 背面描述 | Turreted Tyche, the civic goddess personifying the fortune of Cyzicus, seated to the left upon a rocky outcrop. She holds a ship's rudder in her extended right hand, emblematic of the city's maritime prominence, while her left arm rests upon the rock beside her. The turreted crown identifies her as the Tyche of the city. The ethnic legend of the Cyzicenes is inscribed around the reverse field, with the distinctive local zeta rendered in the form of the Japanese katakana character エ, a well-documented epigraphic peculiarity of Cyzicene coinage. |

Cyzicus was among the most productive civic mints in the conventus during the early Antonine period, but this piece carries an orthographic oddity worth noting: the zeta in ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ is rendered in a form resembling the Japanese katakana エ — a squared, almost cruciform shape rather than the conventional diagonal-stroke letter. This is not damage or die wear. It reflects a local engraver's idiosyncratic letterform, and the same variant appears consistently enough across dies from this mint and period to confirm it as a deliberate regional practice.
