| Beschrijving keerzijde | Dionysus standing facing with head turned to the left, holding a cantharus (wine cup) in his extended right hand and a long thyrsus in his left. A panther stands to the left of the god, a typical attribute of the Dionysiac iconographic program. A small indeterminate letter or symbol appears in the left field. The design is contained within a beaded border, with the ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ distributed around the reverse field. |

Nicaea's civic bronze issues under Maximinus Thrax occupy an awkward political moment: the emperor was deeply unpopular with the Senate and never visited the eastern provinces, yet provincial mints continued producing coins in his name as a matter of administrative routine. Maximinus was the first emperor of wholly non-senatorial background, his rise from Thracian peasant soldier to emperor through pure military rank having shocked the Roman aristocracy.
His reign ended when the Senate backed the Gordian claimants in 238 — the so-called Year of the Six Emperors — and Maximinus was killed by his own troops outside Aquileia.
