| Additional information |
Nicomedia was one of the most politically consequential cities in the Roman East — serving as the effective capital of Bithynia and a key administrative hub long before Diocletian later made it a tetrarchic imperial seat. This issue falls within the co-regency of Marcus Aurelius and his son Commodus, elevated to Augustus in 177, which brackets the dating and explains the formulaic honorific language in the legend. Civic bronzes from Nicomedia in this period were issued under local magistrates whose names occasionally survive on the dies, though attribution remains incomplete across the series.
