Æ24 - Trebonianus Gallus ΝΙΚΟΜΗΔΕΩΝ ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ

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.
