| Reverse description | Two tall conical wicker or pine-cone-shaped torches or cult objects flank a small lighted altar at centre, all set upon a low rectangular base or platform, forming a symmetrical homonoia composition. The arrangement alludes to the concordance between the cities of Nicaea and Byzantium, each object likely symbolising one of the participating cities. The Greek legend is distributed around the design in the field and periphery, referencing the civic alliance. The reverse type is a well-known formula employed on homonoia coinage struck by allied Bithynian and Thracian cities during the third century AD. |
