| Reverse description | Facade of a tetrastyle or multi-doored sacred building, likely a neocorate temple, with a prominent central doorway visible. Above the roofline, three standing figures of Demeter are depicted, each carrying a torch. Flanking the building on either side stands a tall flaming torch entwined by a serpent, emblematic of the Eleusinian mysteries and the city's religious prestige. The reverse legend, distributed in the field, references the strategos Basileus and the neocorate status of the Cyzicenes, affirming the city's distinguished religious and civic standing within the Roman provincial order. |
