| Beschrijving keerzijde | Sarapis standing facing, head turned to left, clad in the characteristic himation with kalathos on head. The deity extends his right hand forward holding ears of grain, while his left arm rests upon a tall sceptre. The composition reflects the syncretic Alexandrian cult of Sarapis widely disseminated across the cities of Bithynia, rendered in the conventional standing frontal type. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the civic authority of Nicaea. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Macrinus ruled for just fourteen months before being overthrown and executed in 218 AD, making any provincial bronze struck in his name inherently short-lived by definition. His accession was itself irregular — a Mauretanian-born praetorian prefect who had arranged the assassination of Caracalla, he was the first emperor never to have served in the Senate before taking the purple. Nicaea, one of Bithynia's principal civic minting centers, managed only a narrow window to produce issues in his name before allegiance shifted to Elagabalus.
