The crown is richly ornamented with rows of decorative elements including pellets and geometric motifs, consistent with the prize crowns associated with Greek sacred games. The legend encircles the crown and is also inscribed upon it, referencing the sacred games held in honour of the Severan dynasty at Nicaea. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The legend on the crown references the Severeia Philadelpheia, a sacred games festival Nicaea established in honor of Septimius Severus — a calculated act of civic loyalty from a city eager to secure imperial favor during the turbulent years following the Year of the Five Emperors. Nicaea had backed Severus early, and coins advertising the agon's sacred status were part of how provincial cities broadcast that allegiance in bronze.
