| Reverse description | Two tall flaming torches set upright and entwined by serpents, one on each side of the composition, framing a lighted altar at the centre; the arrangement alludes to the mystery cult and neocorate religious prerogatives of Cyzicus. The legend is distributed in three lines across the field, with ϹΤΡΑ ΒΑϹΙΛΕΩϹ in the upper register, Β in the centre, and ΝΕΟΚΟΡ / ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩ in the lower register, recording the name of the local strategos Basileus and the city's status as twice-neocorate. A dotted border frames the entire reverse design. |
