| Reverse description | Nude Hermes standing in three-quarter view facing right, his chlamys draped over his left shoulder and falling behind him. In his right hand he holds a caduceus directed downward toward a small lighted altar set before him, referencing his role as divine messenger and patron of commerce. The composition is typical of provincial Mysian bronzes of the Antonine period, with the figure rendered in a classical contrapposto stance. The encircling legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ (with reversed Ζ), identifying the city of Cyzicus and its coveted status as neokoros, frames the field. |
