| Reverse description | Poseidon, nude, standing left with his right foot raised upon a rocky outcrop, touching his beard with his right hand in a contemplative pose; his left arm is wrapped in a chlamys that falls behind him. The figure is rendered in a classicizing style consistent with Antonine provincial coinage from Mysia. The reverse legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ, referencing the city's coveted neokorate status, is distributed around the field, with the Ζ rendered in an unusual エ-shaped form, a hallmark of specific Cyzicene workshop practice. The composition reflects Cyzicus's strong iconographic tradition associating the city with Poseidon as divine patron. |
