| Reverse description | Tyche of Mytilene seated left upon a throne, draped, holding a patera in her extended right hand and a Dionysiac herm in her left. The figure is rendered in the Hellenistic civic tradition, symbolising the fortune and patronage of the city. A horizontal ground line separates the main field from the lower exergual inscription. The surrounding Greek legend naming the strategos Valerius Aristomachos and the civic ethnic of the Mytileneans is distributed in the field and exergue, partially legible through encrustation and wear. |
