| Reverse description | Four lines of Greek inscription enclosed within a finely rendered laurel wreath tied at the base, the whole occupying the central field of the reverse. The wreath is composed of elongated olive leaves with berries, arranged symmetrically and tied with a ribbon at the bottom. The inscription, reading ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝ ΝΕΟΚΟ across multiple lines, serves as a civic honorific denoting Cyzicus as a neokorate city — a title of great prestige granted to cities hosting an imperial cult temple. The plain field and wreath type is a well-attested civic issue type for Cyzicus during the Severan and Antonine periods. |
