| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed bust of Lucius Verus, draped in paludamentum and cuirass, facing right, with a Greek imperial titulature legend surrounding the effigy in the field. The portrait exhibits the characteristic curly hair and beard associated with Lucius Verus, rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The legend is partially legible around the periphery of the flan, reading in Greek characters. The coin shows the irregular flan shape common to provincially struck bronzes of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicomedia's claim to the title ΝΕΩΚΟΡΟΥ — "temple warden" — was a hard-won piece of civic prestige, granted by Rome as recognition of an imperial cult. The city held the honor earlier than most of its Bithynian rivals, and coins invoking it were less currency than civic argument, circulated proof of standing in the perpetual status competition between Greek cities of the eastern provinces.
This issue falls within the co-reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, the first time Rome had operated under two simultaneous Augusti.
