| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-length figure of Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution, standing facing left in long chiton. With her right hand she reaches up to pluck the fabric of her chiton at the neckline, a gesture symbolic of her power, while her left hand holds a bridle. The figure is rendered in a stiff provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage of the Antonine period. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is disposed around the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea's civic bronze coinage under Marcus Aurelius was issued during a period when the city was consolidating its position as the dominant urban center of Bithynia, a rivalry with Nicomedia that spilled into titles, building programs, and the very legends stamped on local coinage. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ — straightforwardly asserting civic identity — reflects how provincial cities used bronze issues as much for local prestige as for small commerce.
The reference IV.1#8436 places this within the Corpus Nummorum framework for Bithynian civic issues, a cataloguing project that has repeatedly revised attributions for this reign as new die links surface.
