Beschrijving keerzijde Tetrastyle temple depicted in elevation, its four columns framing the standing figure of Tyche facing, head turned to left, holding a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left; a wreath is visible within the pediment above. The civic legend of Iuliopolis is inscribed around the design. The composition reflects the standard iconography of a city's tutelary deity enshrined within her temple, a common type on Bithynian provincial bronzes of the Severan era.

Aanvullende informatie

Iuliopolis was a minor Bithynian city of disputed origin — ancient sources disagree on whether it was founded as a Galatian settlement or refounded under Julius Caesar, from whom it claimed its name. Under Septimius Severus it held no strategic importance, yet civic bronze issues like this one were a matter of local pride and administrative function, filling the small-denomination gap that imperial coinage rarely bothered to address in the eastern provinces.

The city's output under Severus is sparsely documented, and V.2#71424 represents one of the thinner threads in the provincial corpus.
