Cyzicus held the title of neokoros — formal warden of an imperial cult temple — twice over by this period, a distinction the city pursued aggressively and displayed on its coinage as a marker of prestige within the conventus system. The strategos named in the obverse legend, Paulos, is otherwise unattested in the epigraphic record, making this coin one of the few surviving documents of his magistracy.
