| Reverse description | The emperor is depicted on horseback galloping vigorously to the right, seated astride a prancing horse with forelegs raised. Gordian III is shown in military attire, extending a spear forward in his right hand in a dynamic martial pose emblematic of imperial power and military prowess. The composition fills the central field, with the horse's body rendered in bold relief characteristic of Bithynian provincial bronzes. The encircling Greek legend in the periphery proclaims Nicomedia's coveted status as a twice-neocorate city, affirming its prestigious role in the imperial cult. |
