| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Greek inscription distributed across five lines within the field, enclosed by a laurel wreath tied at the base. The wreath border is rendered in relief with individual leaf pairs clearly articulated. The text commemorates the Severan Philadelphian games (Ϲεουήρεια Φιλαδέλφεια) as celebrated by the city of Nicaea, reflecting the civic pride and imperial loyalty of the Bithynian metropolis during the Severan dynasty. |
