| Beschrijving keerzijde | Diana Lucifera depicted standing erect in a biga drawn by two galloping stags moving to the right, rendered in a lively provincial style. The goddess wears a crescent on her head and carries a quiver at her shoulder, and bears a long torch in each outstretched hand. The stags are shown in full gallop with forelegs raised. The colonial civic legend is distributed around the field, with the decree formula D D in the lower portion. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apamea's civic bronze issues under Septimius Severus reflect a calculated act of political alignment. The city adopted the colonial title COL IVL CONC — Colonia Iulia Concordia — and its coins from this period consistently emphasize that status, likely as a bid to secure imperial favor during the civil wars of the 190s that brought Severus to power after the chaos following Pertinax's murder. The D D inscription, decreto decurionum, confirms the local senate authorized this striking.
Bithynian civic bronzes of this period were produced for local exchange and religious festival contexts, not imperial circulation.
