| Beschrijving keerzijde | Veiled Demeter standing facing, head turned to left, holding a short sceptre in her right hand and two ears of grain in her left hand. The goddess is depicted in long robes with a veil drawn over her head, alluding to her chthonic and agrarian cult associations appropriate to the neocorate city of Nicomedia. The peripheral Greek legend identifying the issuing metropolis encircles the central type within a dotted border. The composition reflects standard provincial iconographic conventions of the Antonine era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicomedia's title ΝΕΩΚΟΡ — neokoros, "temple warden" — was a fiercely contested honor granted by Rome to cities permitted to maintain an imperial cult temple. Nicomedia held it first in Bithynia, a priority it defended aggressively against rival Nicaea for centuries. This coin almost certainly circulated within that rivalry, the title spelled out in full as a civic assertion rather than mere legend.
