| Reverse description | The goddess Demeter advancing to the left in long chiton and himation, holding a lighted torch in each raised hand, evoking her search for Persephone. The figure is rendered in the striding pose conventional for Demeter on Cyzicene civic bronzes. The surrounding Greek legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ, incorporating a retrograde zeta (Ζ reversed), proclaims the neocorate status of Cyzicus, an honorific title indicating the city's right to maintain an imperial cult temple. |
