| Beschrijving keerzijde | A hexastyle temple depicted in frontal elevation, featuring six slender columns supporting a triangular pediment ornamented with a central pellet in the tympanum. The architectural rendering follows the conventional schematic style of Bithynian civic bronze coinage, with visible column shafts and a stepped stylobate at the base. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is distributed in the field to either side of the temple facade, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. A dotted border frames the entire reverse design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea's municipal bronze coinage under Caracalla was produced by civic authority, not imperial mandate — the city paid for the dies, organized the strikes, and circulated the coins locally within Bithynia. The legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ asserts civic identity in the Greek east at a moment when Caracalla was aggressively centralizing power in Rome, culminating in the Constitutio Antoniniana of 212 AD, which extended Roman citizenship across the empire — a reform that may have quietly undermined the cultural distinctiveness these provincial civic issues were designed to project.
