Æ16 - Antoninus Pius ΤΥΧ (ΕΑ) ΤΡΑΙ ΒΟϹ

Bostra became the capital of the new province of Arabia Petraea after Trajan's annexation in 106 AD, and the city wasted little time establishing a civic coinage that proclaimed its provincial status. The abbreviated ethnic on this issue — ΤΡΑΙ ΒΟϹ, for Trajane Bostra — preserves the honorific name the city received from its conqueror and retained through the Antonine period and beyond, long after Trajan himself was dead.
