| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing on an altar with wings fully spread, its head turned to the left in a heraldic pose commonly employed on Bithynian civic bronzes. Two legionary standards flank the eagle on either side, emphasizing the city's privileged military and religious associations. The composition is symmetrical and fills the reverse field effectively, framed by the encircling Greek legend. This reverse type reflects Nicomedia's status as a twice-neocorate city, honoring the imperial cult. The design is executed in the robust, somewhat stylized manner typical of Severan-era provincial mint production. |
