Æ44 - Commodus ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡΑΤ ΝΑΙΒ ΚΥΙΝΤΟΥ ΚΥΖΙΚ ϹΜΥΡΝΑΙ ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ

The homonoia coinage between Cyzicus and Smyrna belongs to a competitive tradition among Asian Greek cities to advertise their alliances through shared coin issues — a practice that served municipal prestige as much as any practical diplomatic function. Quintus, named in the strategos formula on this piece, held authority over the Cyzicene conventus during the early years of Commodus, whose accession in 180 AD followed Marcus Aurelius's death on campaign at Vindobona.

At 44mm, this is among the largest module bronzes the Cyzicene mint produced, reserved for homonoia types specifically — the scale itself was part of the message.
