| 背面描述 | A bull strides vigorously to the right, rendered in naturalistic style with well-defined musculature, occupying the central field of the coin. The reverse legend is disposed in two lines around and below the bull, reading ΚΙΑΝΩΝ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΩΝ in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Cius under its Hadrianic title. The type is characteristic of Bithynian civic bronze coinage of the imperial period, where the bull frequently served as a civic emblem. |

Cius, a Bithynian port city on the Propontis, received the honorific title Adrianoi — effectively renaming itself in the emperor's honor — following Hadrian's known benefactions and likely a personal visit during his extensive tour of the eastern provinces in the 120s. The city's adoption of the Hadrianic epithet in its coin legends was a direct bid for imperial favor, and almost certainly tied to concrete privileges: tax exemptions, building subsidies, or elevation in civic rank relative to rival Bithynian cities like Nicomedia and Nicaea.
At 38mm, these civic bronzes were the largest denomination in local circulation and would have served administrative and commercial functions well beyond the city's immediate hinterland.
