| Beschrijving keerzijde | The ethnic legend of the Cibyrates is inscribed in four lines across the field — ΚΙ / ΒΥΡΑΤ / ΩΝ — all contained within a large, finely rendered laurel wreath tied at the base. The wreath occupies nearly the entire flan, with individual leaves clearly articulated. No additional devices or symbols appear in the field. The composition is typical of civic bronze coinage from the Conventus of Cibyra under the Severan and later imperial period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cibyra's civic coinage under Trajan Decius belongs to a mint that punched well above its regional weight — the city had been demoted from its earlier tetrapolic league status by Rome in 84 BC after backing the wrong side one too many times, yet continued producing bronze issues for local exchange through the imperial period with consistent civic pride. The ΚΙΒΥΡΑΤωΝ ethnic on the reverse is the city asserting an identity Rome had once tried to curtail.
Decius himself was killed at the Battle of Abritus in 251 AD, the first Roman emperor to die in combat against a foreign enemy — making all issues struck in his name a compressed two-year window.
