| Beschrijving keerzijde | Architectural type depicting three hexastyle temples representing the triple neocorate status of Nicomedia. The central temple is shown in frontal elevation with six columns and contains a standing cult statue, identified tentatively as Demeter, facing left. The two flanking temples are rendered in three-quarter perspective view, conveying a sense of spatial depth. An altar appears between the temples. The Greek neocorate legend is distributed around the composition in the field. |

Nicomedia's claim to the title ΤΡΙϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ — "thrice temple warden" — was a hard-won civic honor, each neokorate granted by Rome for establishing an imperial cult. The city had been jockeying with Nicaea for provincial supremacy since Augustus, and these titles were the official scoreboard. Elagabalus, whose reign was too brief and too chaotic to leave much administrative legacy, nonetheless confirmed or extended neokorate honors to several eastern cities, likely as part of the broader flattery exchanged between Rome and the Greek-speaking provinces.
