| Reverse description | Tyche of Tarsus seated to the right upon a throne, draped, holding a tall palm branch in her right hand; beneath the throne, a reclining river god personifying the Cydnus river is depicted in smaller scale, a characteristic iconographic element of Tarsian civic coinage. The legend ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΕΩΣ appears around the field, with the abbreviated civic ethnic ΤΑΡ placed in the right field, denoting the metropolis of Tarsus. The overall composition reflects the civic pride and Hellenistic artistic tradition of this important Cilician mint city. |
