| 背面描述 | Two standing deities of healing depicted in the field: Hygieia stands at left, facing right, extending her right hand to feed a serpent from a patera held in her left hand; Asklepios stands at right, facing front with head turned to the left, his right hand resting upon a knotted staff entwined by a serpent. The civic ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in the field, attributing the emission to the city of Nicaea in Bithynia. The composition reflects the strong veneration of the Asklepian cult in the region. |

Nicaea, situated in Bithynia, was among the most productive civic minting centers in the Greek East during the Severan period, issuing bronze coinage partly as a vehicle for promoting the city's status and its favored cults. The pairing of Hygieia and Asclepius reflects Nicaea's strong association with healing sanctuaries in the region — a deliberate civic statement, not incidental iconography.
Howgego 254 is well-documented within the corpus of Bithynian civic bronzes but individual die pairings vary enough that collar matching against the census remains worthwhile.
