| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus was one of the wealthiest and most politically connected cities in the Conventus of its region, and its civic bronze issues under Septimius Severus reflect a city actively courting imperial favor during a dynasty still consolidating power after the chaos of 193 AD — the Year of the Four Emperors. The abbreviated ethnic legend variants, including the contested ΝΕΩ(Κ)ΟΡΩΝ readings, suggest multiple die phases or workshop hands across a reign spanning nearly two decades.
Neokorate status — the right to maintain an imperial cult temple — was a coveted civic honor, and Cyzicus held it. The legend variants on this type likely track distinct grants or reaffirmations of that status under Severus.
