| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea's bronze issues under Caracalla belong to a particularly active phase of civic coinage in Bithynia, when the city was aggressively promoting its status against its long-standing rival Nicomedia — a rivalry that occasionally spilled into formal disputes brought before the emperor himself over honorific titles like "first city" and "metropolis." The city's mint output during these years reflects that competition directly.
The reference to V.2#78332 places this within the Waddell-era corpus, a classification system that remains the standard for Bithynian provincials despite its known gaps in die linkage studies.
