| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The emperor's radiate laurel wreath, layered hair, and short beard are rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage. The Greek legend ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟϹ ΑΥΓΟΥϹΤΟϹ runs around the periphery within a plain border, identifying the emperor by his dynastic name Antoninus Augustus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea was one of the most prolific civic minting centers in Bithynia under the Severan dynasty, issuing bronze for local exchange throughout Caracalla's reign — a period spanning his co-emperorship with Septimius Severus through his sole rule following his brother Geta's murder in 211. The city had long competed with neighboring Nicomedia for the title of metropolis of the province, and coin output was part of that rivalry; civic issues functioned as much as declarations of municipal status as they did currency.
The reference V.2#78226 places this within the Vogt corpus for Bithynian bronzes.
