| Reverse description | The goddess Demeter is depicted advancing to the right in a dynamic striding pose, holding a lighted torch in each raised hand, emblematic of her eternal search for her daughter Persephone. The figure is rendered in the flowing garments typical of Hellenistic divine iconography, emphasizing the strong Greek cultural identity of the Cyzicene mint. The reverse field bears a two-line Greek legend referencing the strategos Gaius Julius Seleucus and the neokorate status of Cyzicus. The composition reflects the civic pride of Cyzicus as a prominent centre of the imperial cult in Asia Minor. |
