| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of the city's fortune, stands facing with head turned to the left, rendered in the conventional provincial style of Carian civic coinage. She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, emblems of prosperity and maritime fortune befitting a city of Aphrodisias's commercial stature. The figure is enveloped by the encircling Greek legend ΑΦΡΟΔΕΙϹΙΕΩΝ, identifying the issuing city in the genitive plural. The flan shows typical surface porosity and green patination consistent with prolonged burial of a Carian bronze issue. |
