| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche of the city seated left upon a throne, holding a corn ear (or similar grain symbol) in her extended hand, emblematic of the city's prosperity and fertility. At her feet, a reclining river god is depicted, personifying the local waterway associated with Midaeum. Behind Tyche stands a figure of Eros holding an upraised torch, a motif occasionally encountered in Phrygian civic bronzes. The reverse legend ΜΙΔΑΕΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The composition is rendered in the provincial engraving style characteristic of Asia Minor civic coinage of the Severan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Midaeum was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage output under the Severan dynasty was modest and geographically constrained — these bronzes circulated within a tight regional economy and rarely traveled far. The conventus of Synnada, to which Midaeum was administratively subordinate, handled judicial assizes for the surrounding communities, and civic coinages from member cities often spiked during the years an emperor's image was politically useful to local magistrates seeking favor.
Severus Alexander's thirteen-year reign produced a broad diaspora of provincial bronzes across Asia Minor, but Midaeum's contribution to that output was slim. VI#5728 is among a handful of attributed types from this city.
