| Beschrijving keerzijde | The emperor is depicted on horseback in vigorous rightward gallop, his right hand raised in a gesture of salutation or adoration, characteristic of the imperial adventus or adlocutio type as rendered by Cyzicene die engravers. The horse is shown in full stride with forelegs raised, conveying martial dynamism. The Greek legend occupies the field and exergual area, citing the presiding strategos Aurelius Aristeides and affirming Cyzicus's honored neocorate status. The flan is broad but uneven, typical of large provincial bronzes of the Severan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus held the rare distinction of triple neokorate status by the Severan period — meaning the city had been granted the right to maintain an imperial cult temple three times over, a privilege conferring enormous prestige and real administrative leverage within the conventus. The strategos Aurelius Aristeides named in the obverse legend was a local magistrate whose term of office provides one of the few fixed points for dating the civic bronze issues of this mint within the thirteen-year reign.
At 43mm, these large civic bronzes from Cyzicus required substantial die preparation and were likely reserved for ceremonial or inter-city exchange rather than daily market use.
