| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus held the rank of neokoros — official keeper of an imperial cult temple — and this coin was almost certainly struck to assert or celebrate that status during a period when Marcus Aurelius was deeply preoccupied with the Marcomannic Wars on the Danube frontier. Cities across the Asian conventus competed aggressively for neokoros honors, which carried real commercial and judicial privileges. The designation ΝΕΟ embedded in the coin's legend is the city staking its claim in bronze.
