| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, rendered in the typical provincial style of Bithynia. The emperor's effigy is encircled by a beaded border, with the Greek imperial titulature distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portraiture reflects the vigorous, youthful features associated with Caracalla's early reign imagery as adopted in eastern provincial coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Homonoia standing facing, head turned to the left, dressed in a long chiton and himation. She extends her right hand to pour a libation from a patera over a small lighted altar at her side, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruit and grain. The reverse legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ curves around the field, and the composition is framed by a beaded border, reflecting the civic pride of Nicaea in proclaiming concord through this allegory. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea was one of the most prolific civic minting authorities in Bithynia, and its bronze issues under Caracalla are numerous enough that die studies have identified substantial variation across the series. The city's mint operated with considerable autonomy during this period, selecting local magistrates' names for inclusion on the coinage — a practice that makes individual issues traceable to specific administrative tenures, though the magistrate for this particular reference has not been conclusively identified.
