Æ13 - Septimius Severus ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ

正面描述	Bare-headed portrait of Geta as Caesar facing right, rendered in low relief characteristic of small provincial bronze coinage. The youthful effigy displays the unadorned head typical of junior imperial portraiture of the Severan period. The obverse legend in Greek characters runs around the portrait in the field. The coin exhibits heavy surface corrosion consistent with its age and bronze composition, with a beaded border encircling the design.

附加信息	Nicaea's civic bronze issues under Septimius Severus belong to a period when the city was consolidating its status as one of Bithynia's dominant urban centers, competing directly with Nicomedia for provincial primacy. That rivalry played out partly through coin production — local bronzes functioned as assertions of civic identity as much as small change. At 1.64g, this is toward the lighter end of the Æ13 class, likely the result of die wear or flan preparation inconsistencies endemic to small civic workshops rather than any official weight reduction.
