Æ23 - Elagabalus ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ (or ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ)

Nicaea was one of the most prolific civic minting authorities in Bithynia during the Severan period, producing bronze issues under nearly every emperor from Hadrian onward. Under Elagabalus, the city's mint continued operating with characteristic regularity despite the chaos surrounding his reign in Rome — the provincial bronzes largely ignored the political instability that would end with his murder by the Praetorian Guard in 222 AD at age eighteen.

The reference VI#3124 points to the Voegtlin corpus, the standard attribution tool for Bithynian civic issues, though die matches within Nicaean Elagabalus bronzes remain undercatalogued relative to the volume produced.
