Reverse description A round stepped altar at centre, entwined by a serpent whose head rises to the right above the altar top, a common iconographic reference to Asclepius, the god of healing and medicine. The composition is set within a beaded border, with the civic legend distributed around the field. The type reflects Nicaea's devotion to the healing cult of Asclepius as civic saviour.
