| Reverse description | A herm of Hermes depicted frontally, standing on a rectangular base, the god veiled and wearing a mantle draped over the shoulders, with both arms crossed in front of the chest in the distinctive herm pose. The figure is rendered in the compact, schematic style characteristic of provincial Bithynian bronzes. The Greek civic legend is distributed in the field around the type, identifying Nicomedia as a metropolis. The design reflects the city's religious traditions and its pride in its metropolitan status within the province of Bithynia et Pontus. |
