| Reverse description | Turreted and draped bust of Tyche, the city goddess of Laodicea ad Mare, facing left, adorned with a mural crown and wearing a bunch of grapes as an attribute, referencing the city's viticultural renown. The figure is rendered in the draped provincial style typical of Syrian civic bronzes of the Antonine period. The surrounding Greek legend identifies the Laodicean civic community and includes the local era date ΡΑ (year 101) and the Caesarean era year ϘΡ (year 190). The flan is irregular and chipped, affecting portions of both the design and the legend. |
