| Beschrijving keerzijde | Emperor Trebonianus Gallus depicted radiate on horseback, advancing to the left, his right arm raised in a gesture of salutation or address, while his left hand holds a transverse sceptre. The equestrian composition is a common honorific type on Roman provincial bronzes, emphasizing imperial authority and military prowess. The reverse legend, distributed around the periphery, identifies the issuing city and its twice-neocorate status. A beaded border frames the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicomedia held the title of neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — four times over, a distinction it competed for aggressively against rival Bithynian cities, particularly Nicaea. The ΔΙ in the legend abbreviates δίς, confirming this was struck during the city's second neokorate grant. Trebonianus Gallus came to power under circumstances that never fully shed suspicion: he negotiated the treaty with the Goths that allowed them to withdraw after Decius's death at Abrittus in 251, a defeat in which Gallus himself may have played a destabilizing role.
