| Reverse description | Turreted, veiled and draped bust of Tyche, the city's tutelary deity, facing right, wearing a mural crown atop the veil in the conventional manner of Cilician civic personifications. The drapery falls in schematic folds over the shoulder and chest, reflecting the provincial workshop's stylistic conventions. The reverse legend naming the citizens of Hieropolis-Castabala encircles the bust within a beaded border, asserting the civic identity of the issuing authority. The type is a standard Tyche bust as commonly employed by Cilician cities during the Antonine period. |
