背面描述	A rectangular, garlanded altar shown in three-quarter perspective, adorned with festoons and decorated mouldings, with flames or smoke rising from its top surface, indicating a lighted sacrificial fire. The altar rests on a stepped base and is rendered in the compact, schematic style characteristic of small Bithynian provincial bronzes. The ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the type in the field.

附加信息	Nicaea's civic bronze issues under Septimius Severus reflect the city's careful navigation of the 193 AD civil wars — Nicaea had backed Pescennius Niger, the eastern claimant, and after Niger's defeat required a period of political rehabilitation under the eventual victor. That the city continued striking civic bronze at all suggests Severus extended relatively lenient terms to Bithynian cities that had aligned against him.
