| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful bare head of Heracles, assimilated to the portrait of Marcus Aurelius as Caesar, facing right, with traces of the Nemean lion skin visible at the neck. The effigy is rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage of the Antonine period. The legend ΤΟΝ ΚΤΙϹΤΗΝ, meaning 'for the founder,' appears in the field, referencing the mythological founder of Cius. A beaded border frames the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cius, the Bithynian port city at the mouth of the Astacus Gulf, had a complicated civic identity — claimed by Milesian colonists, absorbed into the Bithynian kingdom, and later refounded by Prusias I around 202 BC as Prusias-on-the-Sea, though the older name stubbornly persisted on coinage well into the imperial period. The ethnic ΚΙΑΝΩΝ is itself an assertion of pre-Prusian ancestry, a quiet insistence on origins the city refused to surrender.
