| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-length figure of the goddess Demeter, veiled and standing to the left, rendered in the conventional provincial style. She holds two ears of grain in her right hand and a long torch in her left hand, attributes closely associated with the chthonic and agrarian aspects of her cult. The divided civic legend appears in the field on either side of the standing figure, referencing the issuing city of Nicomedia. |

Nicomedia had long cultivated its status as the leading city of Bithynia, and local bronze issues under Antoninus Pius reflect that civic ambition — the city minted prolifically throughout his reign, producing a dense series of small bronzes tied to local cult, festival, and title competitions with neighboring Nicaea. The abbreviation ΔΗΜΗΤ ΝΕΙΚΟ almost certainly references Demeter, whose worship was well established in the region, embedded in a civic religious economy that Roman provincial administration left largely intact.
The reference IV.1#5588 places this within the Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum framework for Bithynia. These small civic bronzes rarely traveled far from their city of issue.
