| Beschrijving keerzijde | Turreted Tyche standing facing, head turned to the left, clad in long drapery, holding a spear in one hand and ears of grain (or with left hand resting on hip depending on die variant), with her right foot resting upon a reclining, swimming river-god in the exergue. The type references the personified Fortune of New Trajanic Bostra, a title commemorating the city's refoundation under Trajan. The encircling Greek legend names the city and its epithet. The coin is considerably worn with patina obscuring the finer elements of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bostra became the capital of the newly organized province of Arabia Provincia after Trajan's annexation of the Nabataean kingdom in 106 AD, and the city's civic coinage under Antoninus Pius reflects its pride in that Trajanic foundation — the epithet in the reverse legend explicitly honoring Trajan as the city's refounding patron decades after his death. This kind of posthumous civic acknowledgment on provincial bronze is unusual and points to how thoroughly Bostra's civic identity had been reshaped by the Roman reorganization.
