| Beschrijving keerzijde | Diademed and draped bust of Homer facing right, depicted as an aged bearded figure in the conventional idealized portrait type associated with the blind epic poet. The bust is rendered with flowing drapery at the shoulder, and the diadem identifies the figure as the deified or heroized Homer. The reverse legend names both Homer and the issuing city of Nicaea, reflecting the local civic pride in claiming Homer as a native son. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea's civic bronze coinage under Commodus drew heavily on the city's claim to Homer — a disputed honor shared aggressively with Smyrna, Chios, Colophon, and several others throughout antiquity. Nicaea's insistence on the poet as a civic symbol was partly a prestige competition among Bithynian and Ionian cities, each minting his image to assert cultural primacy in the Greek-speaking East.
The reference IV.1#6246 places this within the Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum corpus for Bithynia.
