| Additional information |
Cius occupied a strategically awkward position on the Propontis — close enough to Nicomedia to be overshadowed politically, yet sufficiently prosperous from its timber and fishing trade to maintain an active civic mint under Hadrian. The question mark trailing the reverse legend in the reference suggests the inscription remains partially illegible or disputed among specialists, a reminder that provincial attribution at this weight class often hinges on a single readable letter.
