| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, the effigy rendered in the characteristic vigorous provincial style. The laureate wreath is clearly delineated across the brow. The Greek legend ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟϹ ΑΥΓΟΥϹΤΟϹ runs around the periphery of the coin field. The flan shows the typical irregular hammered fabric of Bithynian civic coinage of the Severan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea was one of the most prolific civic minting authorities in Bithynia, and issues under Caracalla are particularly numerous — the city leveraged the imperial cult aggressively during his reign, producing bronze for local circulation at a scale that reflects both civic wealth and a calculated effort to curry favor with a notoriously volatile emperor. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is a straightforward assertion of civic identity, a convention consistent across Bithynian issues of the period.
The Severan-era bronzes of Nicaea are frequently found with die misalignment and uneven flans, a known production characteristic of the mint rather than post-strike damage.
