背面描述	Asclepius, the god of medicine, standing facing with head turned to the left, his weight resting upon a tall knotted staff entwined by a serpent, the god's canonical attribute. The figure is depicted in a long chiton, rendered in the restrained provincial style of Bithynian civic bronzes. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea.

附加信息	Nicaea was one of the most aggressively prolific civic minting authorities in Bithynia under the Severan dynasty, producing bronze issues across virtually the entire reign to assert municipal prestige during a period when provincial cities competed fiercely for imperial favor. Septimius Severus had particular reason to cultivate Bithynian loyalty — the region sat astride critical supply lines to the eastern frontier where he campaigned repeatedly against Parthia. The ethnic ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ identifies the issuing city unambiguously, a convention that doubled as civic pride and administrative clarity across a province saturated with competing local bronzes.
