| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of the city's fortune, stands facing left in full figure, crowned with a kalathos (modius) upon her head. In her right hand she holds a ship's rudder resting on the ground, symbolic of maritime prosperity, while her left arm supports a cornucopia overflowing with fruits and grain, emblematic of abundance. The ethnic legend ΑϹϹΙΩΝ is disposed around the figure in the field, identifying the civic issue of Assus. The type is characteristic of provincial bronze coinage struck under Roman imperial authority in the Troad. |
