| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted and pearl-diademed bust of Emperor Gratian facing right, draped and cuirassed, the effigy rendered in the late Roman military style. The emperor bears a spear angled over his right shoulder and holds a decorated shield before him, emblazoned with a cavalry motif. The portrait exhibits the characteristic late antique treatment of imperial imagery, with bold, stylized facial features. The encircling obverse legend reads D N GRATIANVS P F AVG in Latin characters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gratian's reign ended violently in August 383 when Magnus Maximus, proclaimed emperor by troops in Britain, swept through Gaul and had Gratian killed near Lyon. The Nicomedia mint continued striking his coinage through the full tenure of his western rule, but production at eastern mints like Nicomedia was always subject to the administrative priorities of the co-emperor Theodosius I, who held the east from 379 onward. RIC IX 25a is a relatively common type within the series, but Nicomedia fabric is distinguishable from western issues by its characteristically harder die cutting.
