| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The effigy displays characteristic Flavian portraiture with a wreath of laurel around the head. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΥΤ ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝΟΣ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ ΣΕΒ ΓΕΡ(Μ), identifying the emperor by his full titulature as Imperator, Caesar, Augustus, and Germanicus. |

Prusias ad Hypium, a Bithynian city on the Hypius river, struck civic bronzes under Domitian that invoke Homonoia — the concept of civic concord — in a period when the city was navigating its relationship with Roman provincial authority. The ΣΕΒΑΣΤΗ ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ formula, pairing Homonoia with the Augustan title, was a deliberate alignment of local religious tradition with imperial cult, common among Bithynian cities competing for status and privileges from Rome.
Bithynia was a senatorial province under tight Roman administrative scrutiny, and Pliny the Younger's correspondence with Trajan just after this period reveals how intensely cities like Prusias lobbied for imperial favor.
