| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two standing male figures face one another and clasp right hands (dextrarum iunctio) in a homonoia composition. To the left, the nude, bearded eponymous hero Kyzikos stands facing right with a chlamys draped over his left shoulder; to the right, the nude, bearded eponymous hero Ephesos stands facing left, holding a spear in his left hand and wearing a chlamys over his shoulder. The scene symbolises the concord (ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ) between the cities of Kyzikos and Ephesos, rendered in the confident, classicising style of Antonine provincial bronze coinage. The legend, arranged around the field, names the grammateus Paitous and the two cities. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This homonoia issue documents a formal alliance between Ephesus and Cyzicus, two of the wealthiest cities in Roman Asia Minor, struck early in Antoninus Pius's reign when civic rivalry in the province was intense enough that emperors and governors regularly mediated disputes over precedence and title. The inscription names a grammateus — a civic secretary — as the issuing magistrate, though the spelling error preserved in the legend (ΠΑΙΤΟΥ for the expected form) suggests either a die-cutter working from a poorly transcribed draft or a non-Greek speaker cutting the dies.
