| Reverse description | Turreted, veiled and draped bust of Tyche, the city-goddess of Gaza, facing right, wearing a mural crown atop her veil. The bust is rendered in the local provincial style, with drapery folds visible at the shoulder. To the right of the bust appears the distinctive Gaza civic symbol known as the mem, a Semitic letter used as the city's emblem on its coinage. The Greek legend ΑΙϹ ΓΑΖΑ appears in the field, likely an abbreviated civic formula referencing Gaza. The overall composition is typical of Antonine-era provincial bronzes from the southern Levant. |
