| Additional information |
Nicaea was one of the most productive civic mints in Bithynia during the Severan period, issuing bronze coinage under Caracalla in volumes that reflect the city's considerable administrative and commercial weight in the province. The city had long competed with Nicomedia for primacy in the region — a rivalry that played out partly through monumental building and partly through the prestige of a prolific civic coinage.
The reference V.2#80293 places this within the broader Wildwinds/BMC corpus for Bithynian civic issues, a series still incompletely catalogued.
