| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of the emperor Caracalla facing right, with finely rendered curled hair beneath the laurel wreath and a slightly draped shoulder visible at the bust truncation. The portrait is rendered in the typical provincial style of Bithynian coinage, with bold relief despite the coin's worn surfaces. The encircling Greek legend runs along the periphery of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicomedia's claim to the title ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ — "twice temple warden" — reflects a fiercely competitive civic culture among Bithynian cities, where the right to host an imperial cult temple was lobbied for aggressively before the Roman Senate. Nicomedia held its first neokorate under Vespasian and secured a second, most likely under Septimius Severus, using the designation as a point of civic pride on local bronze coinage throughout Caracalla's reign.
