| Reverse description | Turreted and veiled Tyche, the city goddess of Bostra, stands facing in a frontal composition, her weight distributed evenly. In her right hand she holds an upright spear surmounted by a military trophy, symbolising the city's martial prestige, while her left hand cradles a cornucopia, emblematic of abundance. Beneath her feet, a semi-reclining river-god swims in the exergual field, personifying a local watercourse. The abbreviated city ethnic ΒΟϹΤΡΑ is inscribed in the field or along the periphery, identifying the issuing city. The reverse type reflects the common civic imagery of Roman Arabia's provincial coinage under the Antonine dynasty. |
