| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, stands facing left, wearing a kalathos (modius) on her head and dressed in a long chiton with himation. She extends her right hand holding a caduceus and cradles a cornucopia in her left arm, attributes emblematic of prosperity and good fortune befitting the tutelary deity of Priene. The figure is rendered in a static, frontal provincial style typical of small Ionian civic bronzes of the mid-third century AD. A retrograde Greek legend, naming the presiding archon Eutuches and the civic ethnic of the Prieneans, surrounds the type in the field. |
