| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of fortune and civic prosperity, standing facing left in long robes, holding a ship's rudder in her right hand resting on the ground and a cornucopia in her left arm. The figure stands on a ground line within a dotted border, with the ethnic legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ distributed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Prusa ad Olympum. The composition is characteristic of provincial civic bronze coinage of the Severan era. |
