| Beschrijving keerzijde | Dionysus standing facing, his head turned slightly, holding a cantharus in his right hand and a thyrsus in his left, set upon or above an elephant's head at the base. The figure is rendered in a schematic provincial style with drapery falling loosely from the shoulders. A Greek inscription surrounds the type in the field, recording the name and title of the procurator Junius Chilo, and the ethnic abbreviation of Nicaea. The reverse type reflects the city's Dionysiac religious associations. |

Junius Chilo served as imperial procurator of Bithynia under Nero in the early 50s AD, and his name appearing on this civic bronze places it among the earliest issues of the reign — likely struck within months of Nero's accession in October 54. Procurators with minting authority in the eastern provinces operated with considerable local autonomy at this stage, before Nero's administration tightened its grip on provincial governance. Nicaea and its rival Nicomedia competed aggressively for imperial favor throughout the first century, and the prompt inclusion of the new emperor's name on local coinage was a deliberate political signal.
