| Reverse description | A warship (galley) with six rowers and a helmsman depicted in profile moving to the left, conveying the maritime prominence of Cyzicus as a major port city on the Propontis. On the prow stands the figure of Triton blowing a conch shell, a powerful symbol of naval authority and divine protection. Two military standards are visible on the stern, referencing the city's neokorate status and loyalty to Rome. The reverse legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ, with the distinctive Ζ rendered in a form resembling the Japanese katakana エ, encircles the scene and celebrates Cyzicus's prestigious title as a twice-granted temple warden of the imperial cult. The composition reflects the city's pride in its naval heritage and its elevated civic and religious standing within the province of Asia. |
