| Reverse description | Four-line Greek inscription occupying the central field, reading the name and title of the proconsul Gaius Cadius Rufus, with the city ethnic ΝΕΙΚΑΙΑ below, all enclosed within a finely rendered wreath of laurel leaves tied at the base. A large alpha (Α) appears prominently at the foot of the inscription within the wreath, likely serving as a denomination or series marker. The wreath border frames the entire reverse composition in a manner characteristic of Bithynian civic bronze issues of the Claudian period. |
