| Reverse description | Draped bust of Tyche facing right, wearing a turreted crown (kalathos) atop the head, a characteristic attribute identifying her as the city goddess and divine protectress of Nicomedia. The figure is rendered in provincial relief with drapery visible at the shoulder and chest. The surrounding field carries the Greek legend identifying the proconsul Lucius Mindius Pollio. The composition is typical of Bithynian civic bronze coinage of the Julio-Claudian period. |
