| Beschrijving keerzijde | The winged goddess Nike advances to the left in full stride, her drapery swept dynamically behind her figure. She extends her right hand forward bearing a wreath, symbol of victory and honour, while her left hand carries a long palm branch resting against her shoulder. The ethnic legend of the issuing city is inscribed in the field, identifying this as a civic bronze emission of Nicaea in Bithynia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea was one of the most prolific municipal mints in Bithynia under the Severan dynasty, striking bronze for local circulation while the imperial mints handled precious metals. The city's output under Caracalla was substantial — Nicaea competed with neighboring Nicomedia for prestige, and the volume of civic bronze issued during his reign reflects that rivalry as much as any economic need.
The reference V.2#79881 places this within the Waddington-Babelon-Reinach corpus, the foundational catalog for Bithynian civic issues despite its age and known gaps.
