Nicaea was one of the most politically active minting cities in Bithynia during the Severan period, and its civic bronze output under Septimius Severus reflects a municipality eager to signal loyalty to the new dynasty following the chaos of 193 AD — the Year of the Four Emperors. The city had backed the right horse.
Provincial bronzes from Nicaea are frequently underrepresented in major collections relative to their historical interest, partly because 19th-century collectors prioritized imperial coinage from Rome. The reference V.2#77010 places this within a well-documented but still incompletely die-studied series.
