| Beschrijving keerzijde | Sarapis standing facing with head turned to the left, his right hand raised in a gesture of benediction and holding a long sceptre in his left hand. The god is depicted in his characteristic syncretic form with the modius (grain measure) atop his head, wearing flowing robes. The reverse legend identifies the issuing city and its honorific neocorate status, distributed in two lines around the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Macrinus held power for just fourteen months — the first emperor never to have served in the Senate, elevated directly from the Praetorian prefecture after orchestrating Caracalla's murder in 218 AD. Provincial mints in Bithynia continued striking in his name throughout this window, with Nicomedia asserting its status through the ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ legend, claiming the city had received the honor of imperial cult twice. That designation was fiercely contested among Bithynian cities, Nicomedia and Nicaea trading the distinction through petition and political favor across successive reigns.
