| Reverse description | Geta on horseback advancing to the right, his military cloak (paludamentum) billowing behind him, holding a spear in his right hand in the manner of an imperial cavalry figure. The horse is depicted in a dynamic striding pose, consistent with the equestrian honorific type common on Bithynian civic bronzes. The reverse legend, disposed around the periphery in Greek majuscules, records the Nicaeans honouring Publius Septimius Geta as Caesar. The composition reflects the local civic pride of Nicaea in publicly celebrating the imperial family. |
