Reverse description Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, stands facing left in full figure, draped in a long chiton and himation. She holds ears of grain in her extended right hand, symbolizing agricultural prosperity, while her left hand supports a cornucopia and a rudder resting against her side, denoting the city's good fortune and divine guidance. The Greek legend surrounding the type reads ΛΑΟΔΙΚΕΩΝ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ ΤΟ ΠΗ, referencing the neokorate status of Laodicea and the 88th iteration of the civic era. The reverse type reflects the standard iconographic program of neokorate Phrygian civic bronzes under the Severan dynasty.
