| Beschrijving keerzijde | Turreted and veiled Tyche, the city goddess of Petra, standing to the left, holding a patera extended over a horned altar in her right hand and a trophy over her left shoulder. The composition reflects the standard civic reverse type used by Petra to assert its status as a metropolis. The surrounding Greek legend ΑΔΡ ΠΕΤΡΑ ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛ identifies the city as Hadrianic Petra, Metropolis, alluding to the honorific title granted under Emperor Hadrian. The provincial style and fabric are characteristic of Nabataean Arabia coinage of the 2nd century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Petra held the title of metropolis under Roman provincial administration, and this issue falls within Commodus's co-reign with Marcus Aurelius before the latter's death in 180 — a period when civic minting in Arabia Petraea was consolidating around a handful of active centers. The countermark 'KA' punched into the flan is a revalidation mark, applied almost certainly by a local authority to extend the coin's currency, a practice well-documented across eastern provincial bronzes when fresh supply was interrupted or insufficient.
Spijkerman's 24a designation places this among the rarer attested die pairings for Petraean civic bronzes of the Antonine period.
