| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of Sarapis facing right, wearing the distinctive kalathos (modius), the cylindrical crown emblematic of the god's chthonic and celestial authority. The flowing locks and characteristic full beard of the deity are rendered in typical Hellenistic-Egyptian style as commonly found on provincial coinage of Bithynia. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. |
