| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea was one of the most prolific bronze-issuing cities in Bithynia under the Severan dynasty, and issues for Severus Alexander are well-attested across multiple denominations. The city held considerable civic pride over its rivalry with neighboring Nicomedia, and local bronze coinage was one arena where that competition played out — volume and variety both mattered.
RPC VI 3245 places this piece within a tightly catalogued sequence. The lion type has a long pedigree in Bithynian civic coinage and appears across several reign attributions with minimal die changes, suggesting shared or reused reverse dies across issues.
