  Domitianus (81-96 AD). AE29 (13.54 g), Nikomedia, Bithynia. Obv. AYT ΔOMITIANOΣ ΠKAIΣAP ΣEB ΓEPM, laureate head right. Rev. H MHTPOΠOΛIC KAI ΠPOTH BEIΘYNIAΣ KAI ΠO / NK - MH in ligeature across fields, Zeus seated left, holding sceptre and patera. SNG Aulock 739; Rec. Gén. p. 519, 30.
  Very rare. Very fine.
  The city of Nikomedia here boasts itself as being the "Metropolis and first city of Bithynia", a reflection of its traditional competition with the neighbouring and rivaling city of Nikaia.
