| Reverse description | Demeter standing in a biga drawn by two coiling serpents, moving to the right, holding a lit torch in each raised hand. The goddess is depicted in flowing robes, her figure rendered in the dynamic provincial style associated with Mysian civic coinage. The reverse legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗ ΝΕΟΚΟΡ, inscribed in the field or border, denotes the city of Cyzicus and its honorific status as Neokoros, indicating it held the privilege of maintaining an imperial cult temple. The serpent-drawn biga is a distinctive iconographic type associated with chthonic and agricultural deities in the Greek East. |
