| Reverse description | Frontal view of an octastyle temple, identified as the Temple of Hadrian at Cyzicus, depicted with eight columns supporting an elaborately decorated pediment surmounted by acroteria. The columns stand on a stepped stylobate rendered in perspective, with architectural details including the entablature and triangular pediment clearly delineated. The reverse legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟΡ is distributed in the field to either side and below the temple, proclaiming Cyzicus' proud status as a neokoros — an officially recognised guardian city of the imperial cult. This temple type is a hallmark of Cyzicene civic coinage and celebrates the city's exceptional religious prestige under the Antonine dynasty. |
