| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche standing facing with head turned to the left, draped in a long chiton and himation, holding a cornucopia in her left arm and extending a patera in her right hand over a lighted altar. The figure is rendered in the classical provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage of the Severan dynasty. The encircling Greek legend identifies the issuing city within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heraclea Pontica had a complicated relationship with Rome long before Septimius Severus came to power — the city had been sacked by the Roman general Cotta in 70 BC, losing much of its population to slavery. Under the Severan dynasty it recovered sufficient civic standing to produce a substantial local bronze coinage, of which this is a product. Provincial issues of this size from Bithynia and Pontus were not struck by imperial directive but funded and administered locally, making each emission a decision of the city council rather than Rome.
