Cyzicus held the title of neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — multiple times over, and the "B" on this issue almost certainly marks its second such award, a civic honor cities competed for aggressively under the Severans and their successors. During Gallienus's sole reign, after his son Saloninus was killed at Cologne in 260 and his father Valerian captured by Shapur I, the western provinces fragmented under the Gallic Empire while civic bronze continued to flow from loyal eastern mints like Cyzicus largely undisturbed.
