| Reverse description | Demeter, goddess of the harvest, depicted standing upright within a biga drawn by two coiling serpents moving to the right. The goddess holds a lighted torch in each hand, referencing her mythological search for Persephone. The composition conveys dynamic movement typical of provincial Mysian iconography, with the serpentine forms of the draft animals rendered in bold relief. The legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ in the field or around the periphery identifies Cyzicus in its role as a city holding the prestigious title of neokoros. |
