| Beschrijving keerzijde | Homonoia, the personification of civic concord, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, wearing a kalathos (modius-like basket crown) upon her head. She extends her right hand to present a patera in a gesture of libation, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia, symbolising abundance and harmony. The ethnic legend of the mint city appears in the field around the figure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea's civic bronze output under Maximinus Thrax reflects a political awkwardness the city navigated carefully. Maximinus, who seized power in 235 following the assassination of Alexander Severus, was the first emperor of fully barbarian origin — a Thracian of obscure birth who never once visited Rome during his three-year reign. Provincial mints like Nicaea continued striking in his name out of administrative necessity, not enthusiasm.
His reign ended when the Senate declared him a public enemy in 238, the so-called Year of the Six Emperors.
