| Reverse description | Bird's-eye perspective view of the walled city of Nicaea, depicted schematically with a central gate in the foreground and a gate at the rear, each flanked by two crenellated towers, conveying the renowned rectangular urban plan of the city. The fortification walls extend between the towers, rendered in a stylised architectural manner typical of Bithynian civic coinage. A Greek legend reading ΑΡΙϹΤΩΝ ΜΕΓ ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is distributed around the design in the field, proclaiming the preeminence of the Nicaeans. The composition reflects the civic pride and urban identity promoted by Nicaea during the period of the usurpers Macrianus and Quietus. |
