| 背面描述 | Tyche of Hierapolis standing facing, head turned to the left, wearing a kalathos (modius) upon her head, rendered in the conventional civic personification style of Anatolian provincial coinage. She holds in her left arm a large cornucopia from which the infant Ploutos emerges, symbolising abundance and civic prosperity. In her right hand she holds a pair of scales, an attribute underscoring her role as guarantor of just measure and fortune for the city. The encircling legend proclaims the city's neocorate status, a prestigious honour denoting the right to maintain an imperial cult temple. |

Hierapolis in Phrygia secured the title of neokoros — formal keeper of the imperial cult — during a period when such honors were aggressively competed for among cities of the Asian conventus. The designation ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ on this issue is civic boasting in bronze: the city spent real money on embassy delegations to Rome to win that title, and coins like this one were part of how they advertised it locally.
Elagabalus's four-year reign generated a distinctive provincial coinage across Asia Minor, partly because his court's religious controversies created unusual pressure on cities to demonstrate loyalty through cult honors.
