| Reverse description | Demeter standing facing, head veiled and turned to left, holding a bundle of grain ears in her right hand and a long torch in her left hand. The goddess is rendered in the classical tradition common to provincial bronze coinage of Bithynia. The reverse legend is distributed in the field around the central type, referencing Nicomedia's prestigious status as twice neocorate. The composition is balanced and typical of civic pride imagery on Severan-era provincial issues. |
