| Reverse description | A rectangular lighted altar depicted in architectural elevation, with flames and smoke rising prominently from its flat top surface, flanked by two upright columns or pilasters forming a naiskos-like frame. The inscription ΔΙΟС ΛΙΤΑΙΟΥ is arranged within the body of the altar across multiple lines, while ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears distributed in the surrounding field. The composition reflects the civic religious iconography of Nicaea, referencing the local epithet of Zeus Litaeus worshipped in Bithynia. |
