| Beschrijving keerzijde | The emperor Trebonianus Gallus depicted on horseback, horse moving to the right, with the rider extending his right arm forward in a thrusting gesture with a spear. The equestrian composition is a classically Roman imperial motif adapted to provincial Greek coinage, conveying the emperor's military prowess and authority. The horse is shown at a vigorous pace, with the foreleg raised, and the figure of the emperor dominates the flan. The encircling Greek legend around the type proclaims the twice-neocorate status of Nicomedia, a mark of civic religious prestige. The field is uneven and the strike somewhat irregular, consistent with provincial mint production of the mid-third century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicomedia held the title of neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — twice over by this period, a distinction the city had fought hard to retain against rivals like Nicaea and Nicomedia's own periodic loss of provincial capital status. The designation ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ stamped on this issue was civic propaganda as much as religious acknowledgment, advertising standing within a fiercely competitive hierarchy of Bithynian cities.
Trebonianus Gallus reigned barely two years before being murdered by his own troops near Interamna in 253.
