| Additional information |
Cyzicus held the rare distinction of multiple neokorate titles — the honor of maintaining an imperial cult temple — granted across successive reigns, and civic pride in that status was aggressively advertised on local bronze coinage throughout the Severan period. The occasional reversal of the zeta in ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ is not a blunder in any pejorative sense; retrograde letters appear sporadically across Cyzicene issues and likely reflect individual die-cutters working without strict oversight rather than any systematic error.
