| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of the nymph Kyme in right-facing profile, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with softly modeled facial features. The hair is elaborately arranged in wavy tresses swept back from the forehead and bound with a taenia, with a loose curl falling behind the ear. The portrait fills the flan with confident artistry, the neck truncation cleanly cut. The field is plain, with no legend on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kyme was among the most prominent cities of Aeolis, claiming — with little credible basis — to be the birthplace of Homer, a prestige assertion that shaped civic identity for centuries. These tetradrachms were struck under the magistrate Philodoxos, whose name appears as part of Kyme's series of eponymous magistrate issues from the mid-second century BC, a period when the city operated under the broad umbrella of Roman-supervised autonomy following the defeat of Antiochos III at Magnesia in 190 BC.
The Oakley die study remains the authoritative reference for sequencing this magistrate group, with specimens 66–72 representing a tightly clustered die family.
