| Reverse description | Aphrodite standing to the right, her head turned, raising her right hand to smooth her hair in the anadyomene pose while holding a sword in her left hand, a distinctive martial attribute reflecting the city's syncretic cult. At her feet to the right stands a short column surmounted by a helmet, with a shield leaning against its base, emblematic of military prowess. The reverse type reflects Cyzicus's pride as a neokorate city, i.e., an officially recognized keeper of the imperial cult. The encircling legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ proclaims the city's neokorate status. |
