| Beschrijving keerzijde | Agonistic table depicted in three-quarter perspective, its front face inscribed with ϹΕΥΗΡΙΑ ΜΕΓΑΛΑ, referencing the Severan games celebrated at Nicomedia. Two agonistic crowns, each adorned with a palm branch, are placed upon the table surface, symbolising athletic and civic victory. The composition reflects the neocorate status of Nicomedia and its role as a prominent centre of imperial cult and games in Bithynia. The reverse legend encircling the design proclaims the city's double neocorate honour. |

Nicomedia's title ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ — "twice temple warden" — was not honorific wallpaper. It reflected a fiercely contested civic status, with Nicomedia and Nicaea locked in a prolonged rivalry over neocorate rankings that spilled into Roman imperial politics repeatedly throughout the second and third centuries. Severus awarded and withheld such honors instrumentally, using them to reward loyalty during the civil wars against Pescennius Niger and Clodius Albinus, both of which touched Bithynia directly.
