| Reverse description | Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution, stands facing left in a full-length figure, her right hand raised to pluck or draw aside her chiton at the neckline in her characteristic gesture of modesty or vigilance, while her left hand holds a cubit rule (measuring rod) at her side. At her feet to the left lies a wheel, one of her standard attributes symbolizing the turning of fate. The figure is rendered in the customary provincial style, with the drapery falling in broad, summary folds. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. |
