| Reverse description | Three hexastyle temples arranged side by side, with the central temple depicted in full frontal elevation and the flanking temples shown in three-quarter perspective, a compositional device emphasizing depth and civic grandeur. Within the central temple, a cult statue, identified tentatively as Demeter, stands to the left. This type celebrates the triple neocorate status of Nicomedia, affirming the city's privileged role as thrice-appointed keeper of the imperial cult. The reverse legend encircles the entire design field. |
