| Reverse description | The bearded emperor Lucius Verus depicted on horseback, advancing to the left in a dynamic martial composition, his right arm raised in a gesture of adlocutio or salute. The horse is rendered in vigorous relief with visible musculature, its forelegs lifted mid-stride. The ethnic legend ΝΕΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. The reverse type reflects the standard equestrian iconography employed by Bithynian civic mints to honor the reigning co-emperor during the joint reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. |
