| Reverse description | A war galley (trireme) sailing to the left, with three helmeted soldiers seated facing right along the deck and two military standards visible, emblematic of Nicomedia's naval prestige and its status as a leading city of Bithynia. The composition is a well-known type for Nicomedian civic bronzes, celebrating both the city's maritime heritage and its twice-granted neocorate honor. The reverse legend encircles the field, identifying the issuing city and its distinguished religious status. The die work, though worn on this example, reflects the characteristic provincial engraving style of the early third century AD. |
