| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Demeter striding to the right, depicted in flowing draped garments, holding a lighted torch in each raised hand, emblematic of her role in the Eleusinian mysteries and her search for Persephone. The figure is rendered in the dynamic provincial style characteristic of Mysian civic bronzes under Gallienus. The encircling legend in two lines names the local strategos Asclepiades and records the neocorate status of Cyzicus. The composition fills the flan with confident draftsmanship typical of the mid-third century Cyzicene mint. |
