Nicomedia's claim to the title of neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — was fiercely contested among Bithynian cities, and the inclusion of that designation on civic bronze was as much a political statement as a religious one. The partially legible legend here, with its uncertain delta suggesting a possible fourth neokorate, places this issue in a sequence that remains unresolved in the scholarship; RPC records multiple die combinations from this period where the neokorate numeral is inconsistently rendered or worn beyond certainty on surviving specimens.
