| 背面描述 | Tyche, the personification of Fortune and patron deity of Nicomedia, depicted standing facing left in full figure, crowned with a kalathos (modius) upon her head. She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand, symbolising governance of fate, and a cornucopia (horn of plenty) in her left, denoting abundance and prosperity. The figure is rendered in the typical provincial Greek style, with the abbreviated civic legend arranged around the periphery of the reverse field identifying the issuing city of Nicomedia. |

Nicomedia had been jockeying for primacy among Bithynian cities for over a century by the time this coin was struck, its civic title ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΙΣ hard-won and jealously defended against rival Nicaea. The abbreviation on the reverse is the crux of that competition — Nicomedia asserting its status as metropolis in bronze, for local circulation, during a reign otherwise remembered for the emperor's increasingly erratic self-identification with Hercules.
