| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped bust of the Roman Senate personified, facing right, depicted with idealized mature features. The legend ΙΕΡΑ ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ (Sacred Senate) runs in the field around the bust. The portrait is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Asia Minor civic bronzes of the Severan and Gordian periods. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyme, one of the oldest Greek foundations on the Aeolian coast, retained the right to strike civic bronze under Roman imperial oversight through the third century — a privilege that was far from guaranteed as central authority tightened under the Severans and their successors. The Hermos river, which drained the Lydian interior and had carried trade goods from as far as Sardis for centuries, remained the economic artery that justified Cyme's continued civic identity and, with it, its coinage.
The reference VII.1#285.1 places this within the Requier corpus for Aeolian Cyme, a relatively thin sequence for the Gordian III period.
