| Reverse description | A tetrastyle or distyle shrine depicted frontally, with two columns framing a standing cult statue of Tyche, turreted and facing right, holding a long sceptre in one hand and an uncertain object in the other. Nike, positioned to the right, crowns the Tyche figure, while the goddess rests her foot upon a swimming river-god below. Two small figures stand atop columns flanking the central group, their arms extended outward in a gesture of acclamation or supplication. The composition reflects the elaborate civic iconography characteristic of Decapolis and Coele-Syrian provincial bronzes of the Antonine period. |
