| Reverse description | Homonoia, personification of civic concord, depicted seated to the left upon a high-backed throne, her robes falling in carefully rendered folds. She extends her right hand forward holding a patera for libation, while her left arm cradles a large cornucopia symbolising abundance. The reverse legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ, meaning 'of the Nicaeans,' is distributed around the field, affirming the civic identity of the issuing mint. The overall composition is characteristic of Nicaean civic bronzes struck under Philip I during the mid-third century AD. |
