| Reverse description | Standing figure of Demeter advancing to the right, rendered in provincial style, holding a lighted torch in each outstretched hand, her garments rendered in flowing drapery. The goddess is depicted in full figure occupying the central field, with the encircling Greek legend filling the periphery of the flan. This reverse type alludes to the mythological search of Demeter for her daughter Persephone and reflects the religious and civic identity of Cyzicus, a city of significant cultic importance in Mysia. The legend references the local strategos and the city's double neocorate status, underscoring Cyzicus's privileged standing within the Roman provincial hierarchy. |
