| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, seated left upon a high-backed throne, holding a long rudder in her extended right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm, symbolising prosperity and guidance. The figure is rendered in a formal, frontal seated pose characteristic of provincial civic coinage. The Greek legend ΥΠΑΤΟϹ Γ ΠΑΤΗΡ ΠΑΤΡΙΔΟϹ, referencing Hadrian's third consulship and the title Pater Patriae, is distributed around the periphery of the coin. The reverse type alludes to the city's divine patroness and the imperial honours accorded to Hadrian. |
