| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the goddess of Victory, advancing to the left atop a globe, her figure rendered in motion with wings spread. She extends her right hand holding a victor's wreath and carries a long palm-branch in her left hand, both attributes symbolic of martial triumph. The civic ethnic legend of Prusa ad Olympum surrounds the type within a beaded border, the composition typical of Bithynian provincial bronze coinage of the Antonine period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Prusa ad Olympum struck coins for Commodus during the final, increasingly erratic years of his reign — the period in which he renamed Rome "Colonia Commodiana," declared himself the reincarnation of Hercules, and systematically alienated the Senate to the point of engineering his own assassination on the last day of 192 AD. Provincial bronzes from this terminal phase are relatively scarce; the city's output was modest, and the political chaos following Commodus's murder briefly disrupted the normal rhythms of civic coinage across Bithynia.
