| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, depicted standing to the left in full figure, her head crowned with a kalathos (modius-shaped basket symbolising abundance and civic prosperity). She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand, resting it at her side, and cradles a cornucopia in her left arm, the standard iconographic attributes of Tyche as protectress of a city's fortune and maritime commerce. The ethnic legend of the issuing community encircles the type in the field. |

Dios Hieron was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Elagabalus represents one of the more obscure outputs of the Ephesian conventus. The city's name — "Sacred to Zeus" — reflects its religious identity, though it produced coins only sporadically under the Severan emperors. Elagabalus's brief, turbulent reign generated a surprisingly broad provincial output as cities competed for imperial favor from an emperor notoriously susceptible to flattery and religious spectacle.
VI#11063 is a sparsely documented type; recorded specimens are few.
