| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicomedia's claim to the title ΤΡΙΣ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΟΣ — "thrice neokoros," holder of the imperial cult three times over — was hard won and politically charged. The city had jockeyed aggressively with Nicaea for provincial supremacy throughout the second and early third centuries, and the neokorate count was a tangible scoreboard. Each granted neokorate required a dedicated imperial temple and the emperor's formal consent, making the title as much a bureaucratic achievement as a religious one.
Nicomedia secured its third neokorate under Caracalla, so coins of Severus Alexander still advertising the triple title were trading on a predecessor's favor.
