| Beschrijving keerzijde | Triptolemus, the mythological figure of the Eleusinian mysteries, stands in a biga drawn by a pair of winged serpents moving to the right. He is depicted in the act of sowing grain with his extended right hand, symbolising the gift of agriculture to mankind. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ arcs around the reverse field, attributing the issue to the city of Nicaea. The composition is a well-known reverse type on Nicaean civic bronzes of the Antonine period, reflecting the city's cultural and religious associations. |
