| Reverse description | A tetrastyle portable shrine (naiskos) with four columns supports a gabled roof, enclosing a frontal cult statue of Tyche of Antioch seated, holding ears of grain; the river god Orontes is depicted swimming at her feet. Above the shrine's pediment, a ram leaps to the right, representing the zodiacal sign of Aries as the tutelary sign of Antioch. Carry-bars are typically visible at the base of the shrine structure. The Greek civic legend is distributed around the field. |
