| Reverse description | Six-line Greek inscription distributed across the field and enclosed within a laurel wreath tied at the base, the wreath surmounted by a small pellet or berry at the apex. The legend records the name and title of the local strategos Lucius Octavius Severus and honours the city of Cyzicus as a twice-neocorate city, a prestigious civic distinction. The entire composition is framed by the wreath, with no additional iconographic elements in the field. The reverse type is characteristic of civic bronze coinage struck at Cyzicus under the authority of the local magistrate during the sole reign of Gallienus. |
