| Reverse description | Tyche seated left upon a throne, holding a branch in her extended right hand, with her left hand resting upon a rocky eminence identified as Mount Persis. In the lower field at her feet, the river god Dureius is depicted swimming left, rendered in the conventional semi-recumbent manner typical of provincial bronze coinage. The reverse legend in two lines or circular arrangement names the issuing community. The composition reflects the standard civic iconography of Phrygian provincial issues under the Severan dynasty. |
