| Reverse description | Two upright lighted torches between which a serpent is coiled, its body winding around both torches in a sinuous composition; between the torches stands a naiskos or mausoleum-type shrine surmounted by three standing statues. The scene is likely of religious or funerary significance, reflecting local Cyzicene cult practices. The reverse legend, arranged around the field, proclaims the neocorate status of the city of Cyzicus, though the inscription appears in an abbreviated or irregular form as noted. |
