	Cyzicus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cyzicus was an ancient town of Mysia in Asia Minor, situated on the shoreward side of the present peninsula of Kapu-Dagh (Arctonnesus), which is said to have been originally an island in the Sea of Marmara, and to have been artificially connected with the mainland in historic times.
		Cyzicus was held for the Romans against Mithradates in 74 BC till the siege was raised by Lucullus: the loyalty of the city was rewarded by an extension of territory and other privileges.
		Still a flourishing centre in Imperial times, the place appears to have been ruined by a series of earthquakes —the last in AD 1063— and the population was transferred to Artaki at least as early as the 13th century, when the peninsula was occupied by the Crusaders.

	Eunomius of Cyzicus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He studied theology at Alexandria under Aetius, and afterwards came under the influence of Eudoxius of Antioch, who ordained him deacon.
		On the recommendation of Eudoxius he was appointed bishop of Cyzicus in 360.
		Here his free utterance of extreme Arian views led to popular complaints, and Eudoxius was compelled, by command of the emperor, Constantius II, to depose him from the bishopric within a year of his elevation to it.

		Founded by Miletus in 675 B.C. Aeolian sailors early occupied the Propontis but the Milesians overcame them when they established their colonies at Cyzicus and Sestos (c.700-675 B.C.)

		RIC VI, 9b (S) This piece seems to fit Class II with the smaller head, but the relief and flan size is similar to the Class III types.
		In error, the celator did not realize the exergual mark was for Trier as was to replace it with a Cyzicene type, possibly due to the precedent set with the post-reform radiate folles where a field mark was used instead of an exergual.
