背面描述	Homonoia, personification of concord and civic harmony, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, draped in a long chiton and himation. In her right hand she holds a patera extended for libation, and in her left arm she cradles a large cornucopia, emblems of abundance and divine favour. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ arcs around the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea in Bithynia. The reverse type reflects the common civic ideology of homonoia shared among Bithynian cities during the Severan period.

附加信息	Nicaea, by the early third century, had long competed with Nicomedia for primacy in Bithynia — a rivalry that played out partly through the prestige of civic coinage. Under Severus Alexander, the city pressed that claim aggressively, producing a notably broad range of bronze issues across multiple denominations. The emperor himself was a useful figurehead: elevated at seventeen, he reigned for thirteen years under the considerable influence of his mother Julia Mamaea, and provincial mints like Nicaea attached his image to local civic identity with evident enthusiasm.
