| Reverse description | Central composition depicting two lighted torches set upright and entwined by serpents, their flames rising at the top and surmounted by poppy heads, a characteristic Eleusinian Mystery cult symbol. Between the torches stands a small lighted altar. The encircling legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ frames the design, proclaiming Cyzicus's honored status as a neokoros city — an official guardian of the imperial cult — a title of great civic prestige in the Roman provincial context. |
