| Reverse description | Ares, the god of war, depicted standing to the right in a martial pose, clad in military attire including a crested helmet. He holds an upright spear in his raised right hand and supports a large round shield with his left arm, referencing the city's divine protector and its military prestige. The encircling legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟΡ proclaims the neocorate status of the Cyzicenes, a coveted honorific denoting the city's role as keeper of an imperial cult temple. The reverse field is heavily patinated with green and brown surfaces characteristic of provincial bronze issues struck under Gordian III. |
