| Reverse description | Tyche, the tutelary goddess of Cyzicus, depicted standing to the left in full-length draped attire, holding a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left — attributes emblematic of the city's maritime prosperity and abundance. The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial style. A lengthy Greek legend encircles the type, naming the local strategos and proclaiming the city's double neocorate status. The coin was struck under the strategos Lucius Octavius Severus during the sole reign of Gallienus. |
