| Reverse description | Dionysus, the god of wine, stands facing left in a relaxed contrapposto pose. In his raised right hand he tilts a cantharus, pouring its contents over a panther crouching at his feet to the left, while his left hand holds a long thyrsus. The composition reflects the standard provincial iconography of Dionysiac cult imagery favored by Bithynian civic mints. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. |
