| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple façade depicted in perspective, sheltering the cult statue of Tyche of Antioch seated upon a rock, her feet resting above the swimming figure of the river-god Orontes, rendered in the lower register. Above the temple pediment, a ram leaps to the right with head turned back to the left, representing the zodiacal sign of Aries associated with Antioch. The legend in Greek is distributed around the design, incorporating the civic title of Antioch as metropolis and colonia, with the additional control marks Δ E and the senatorial SC abbreviation in the lower field. |
