| Reverse description | The infant Dionysus seated to the right upon a liknon (a winnowing basket used as a sacred cradle in Dionysiac cult), his arms raised upward in a gesture of supplication or greeting. A thyrsus, the characteristic staff of Dionysus, is depicted behind the figure. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ encircles the design within a dotted border, attesting to the civic pride of Nicaea in its Dionysiac religious traditions. |
