背面描述	Nike, the winged goddess of victory, depicted standing in a biga drawn by two galloping horses moving to the right, firmly grasping the reins with both hands. The dynamic composition is characteristic of provincial bronze coinage from Nicaea in the Severan period. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea in Bithynia.

附加信息	Nicaea was one of the most prolific civic mints in Bithynia under the Severan dynasty, competing openly with neighboring Nicomedia for prestige and imperial favor. The city had been refounded by Antigonus and later seized and renamed by Lysimachus, and its civic coinage under Alexander Severus reflects a municipality still invested in projecting Hellenic identity through bronze issues long after Rome had absorbed the region administratively. The ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ ethnic on the reverse asserts that civic pride directly — a deliberate choice at a mint that produced dozens of types across this reign.
