| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, rendered three-quarter from the rear, displaying the paludamentum and segmented cuirass in fine detail. The imperial effigy occupies the central field with strong relief, the laureate wreath rendered with individual leaves visible despite wear. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΥ ΚΑΙ Μ ΑΥΡΗ ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ, identifying the emperor by his official titulature, distributed around the bust within a dotted border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus held the rare distinction of being a thrice-crowned neokoros city — an honor granted by Rome for maintaining imperial cult temples — and coins of this type explicitly advertise that status, almost certainly minted during a period of active competition among Asian cities for such prestige titles. Elagabalus, whose short reign saw extraordinary concessions to provincial elites in exchange for loyalty, was a particularly useful emperor to flatter.
The city's mint was among the most active in the Mysian conventus, with a long tradition of large bronze production stretching back well before Roman administration.
