| Beschrijving keerzijde | Homonoia type depicting the Tyche of Hierapolis and the Tyche of Smyrna standing facing one another in the field, clasping right hands in a dexiosis gesture symbolizing civic concord. Each figure wears a turreted mural crown and holds a long sceptre in the outer hand. The composition celebrates the neokorate alliance between the two cities, expressed through the paired personifications rendered in the provincial Greek artistic tradition. The reverse legend, divided in two registers, identifies both cities and their shared status as neokorate. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The homonoia coinage between Hierapolis in Phrygia and Smyrna reflects a formal alliance struck — literally and politically — to project civic prestige during a period when Roman central authority was fracturing under relentless military pressure on multiple frontiers. These alliance issues were competitive acts: cities vied for neokoria titles and bilateral recognition as proxies for imperial legitimacy when the emperors themselves were too occupied to provide it. Smyrna held multiple neokoria grants; Hierapolis leveraged the pairing to elevate its own standing.
