Æ19 - Antoninus Pius ΝΕΜΕϹΙϹ ΤΙΑΝΩΝ

Tium was a minor Bithynian coastal city with an outsized devotion to Nemesis, the goddess of retributive justice, whose cult maintained unusual prominence there through the second century. Local bronze issues invoking her during Antoninus Pius's reign reflect the city's effort to assert civic identity through coinage at a moment when Bithynia's Greek cities were competing aggressively for imperial favor and the right to mint.
