| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of fortune and city goddess, stands facing left in a dignified contrapposto pose, wearing a kalathos (basket crown) upon her head. In her right hand she holds a long steering rudder resting on the ground, symbolising divine guidance, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruits and grain, emblematic of civic prosperity. The Greek legend of the magistrate and civic ethnic surrounds the figure in the field. The type is characteristic of Phrygian civic bronze coinage and affirms Apamea's identity and self-governance under Roman provincial administration. |
