Reverse description Two standing female figures facing one another in the centre of the field, each identified as a Tyche: the Tyche of Hierapolis on one side and the Tyche of Ephesus on the other. Both figures wear mural crowns and are depicted in long chitons and himations, each holding a sceptre in the outer hand while clasping the right hand of the other in a gesture of concordia (homonoia). The composition is a classic Homonoia type common to inter-city alliance coinage of the Roman provincial series. The reverse legend, distributed around the figures, proclaims the concord between the two cities and references Ephesus's status as a neocorate.
