| Additional information |
Nicaea Cilbianorum — not to be confused with the far more prominent Nicaea in Bithynia — was a minor civic community in the Cayster River valley of Lydia, operating under the jurisdiction of the Ephesian conventus. Its bronze issues under Severus are scarce precisely because the city was small and its output limited; survival is largely a matter of chance rather than hoarding patterns.
