| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust of Julia Mamaea facing right, portrayed in the restrained Severan court style typical of Bithynian provincial coinage. The effigy is rendered with a diadem securing the hair, and the drapery falls over the shoulder in conventional fashion. A Greek legend encircles the bust in the field, identifying the empress by name and title. The flan is irregular and the surfaces heavily worn, obscuring finer detail of the portraiture. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea was among the most prolific civic minting authorities in Bithynia under the Severan dynasty, competing aggressively with neighboring Nicomedia for prestige and imperial favor. The city had been refounded by Antigonus I and later renamed by Lysimachus, and its coins under Severus Alexander reflect a civic identity still deeply invested in projecting Hellenistic cultural continuity under Roman rule.
The reference VI#3139 places this within the Varbanov corpus — the standard attribution tool for Bithynian provincials, though coverage of die varieties for Nicaean bronzes of this reign remains uneven.
