| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, stands facing left in full figure, rendered in the customary provincial style. In her lowered right hand she holds a ship's rudder, symbolizing guidance and destiny, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with abundance. The goddess is shown in long chiton and himation, the drapery rendered with shallow but discernible folds. The ethnic legend ΟΚΟΚΛΙΕΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing civic community of Ococleia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ococleia was a minor Phrygian settlement whose civic coinage essentially begins and ends with the Severan and early Gordian periods — the city minted for a narrow window and then disappears from the numismatic record entirely. The ethnic ΟΚΟΚΛΙΕΩΝ is itself a point of scholarly interest, as the city's name appears in few ancient literary sources, leaving coin legends among the primary evidence for its Greek transliteration.
This piece falls within the Conventus of Apamea, the Roman administrative district whose assizes governed a string of interior Phrygian communities largely absent from imperial attention.
