| Beschrijving keerzijde | A distyle temple with elaborately decorated columns, featuring an ornamental element (possibly a bust or figure) in the pediment. Within the intercolumniation, Tyche is seated left upon rocks, holding a small stele or sceptre in her extended right hand and a trophy in her left hand, emblematic of Petra's civic identity and prosperity. The composition reflects the standard Petraean reverse type associating the city's tutelary deity with its prestigious metropolitan status. The legend is distributed in the field around the central device. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Petra's civic coinage under Septimius Severus reflects the city's hard-won status as a Roman metropolis — a title formally granted under his reign and proudly broadcast in the abbreviated legend. The mint at Petra was never prolific, and provincial bronzes from this specific city remain considerably scarcer than those from the larger Syrian and Egyptian centers.
The abbreviation ΜΗΤ in the legend records that metropolitan designation officially.
