| Reversbeschreibung | Nude Poseidon standing facing left, with his right foot raised and resting upon a rocky outcrop, holding a hippocamp in his outstretched right hand and a long trident in his left. The figure reflects the civic iconography of Cyzicus, a city closely associated with the sea god. The encircling Greek legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ, identifying the city as a holder of the neokorate honour, runs around the reverse field. The coin surface is heavily patinated with dark encrustations typical of long-buried provincial Æ issues. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Cyzicus held the title of neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — and the civic pride attached to that honor was considerable. The city had lobbied hard for it, and coins asserting the designation were effectively political statements about Cyzicus's standing among the great cities of Asia Minor, where competition for such titles was fierce and sometimes resolved by senatorial decree.
The years 169–175 bracket the Antonine Plague and the Marcomannic Wars simultaneously — Marcus Aurelius spent much of this period on campaign along the Danube rather than in Rome.
