| Reverse description | Asclepius, god of medicine, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, his body draped in a himation. The deity rests his right hand upon his characteristic serpent-entwined staff (the rod of Asclepius), which rises vertically beside him. The composition is typical of Bithynian civic reverses honouring healing deities during the Severan dynasty. The encircling Greek legend proclaims the city's prestigious triple neocorate status. The overall style reflects the provincial die-cutting conventions of Nicomedia under Severus Alexander. |
