| Reverse description | Frontal view of a tetrastyle or octastyle temple set on a stepped podium, rendered with six to eight columns clearly visible in the facade; a gorgoneion decorates the pediment. The architectural detail includes a triangular pediment with entablature above the colonnade, typical of neocorate temple reverses struck at Nicomedia. The reverse legend, reading ΝΙΚΟΜΗΔΕΩΝ ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩ, is distributed around the temple within a dotted border, affirming the city's status as a twice-awarded neocorate. |
