| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, the personification of fortune and patron deity of Sardes, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left. She wears the kalathos (modius) upon her head and is clad in a long chiton and himation. In her right hand she holds a ship's rudder resting on the ground, symbolising guidance and fate, while her left arm supports a cornucopia overflowing with produce, representing abundance. The Greek civic legend encircles the field, proclaiming Sardes' prestigious status as a twice-neocorate city. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sardis held the title of neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — twice by the time Elagabalus came to power, a distinction hard-won through civic competition and imperial favor rather than automatically granted. The Β ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ legend advertises exactly that dual status, which Sardis had secured under the Severan dynasty. Elagabalus, whose reign was consumed by religious controversy surrounding his promotion of the sun god Elagabal above the Roman pantheon, still required the loyalty of eastern mints to legitimize his rule.
