Reverse description Tyche of Tarsus depicted turreted and veiled, seated to the right upon rocky ground, holding a palm branch in her raised hand, symbolising the city's fortune and prosperity. At her feet, the river god Kydnos is shown swimming to the right, personifying the river flowing through the city. The ethnic abbreviation ΤΑΡ appears in the right field, identifying the mint city of Tarsus. The reverse legend ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞ ΥΠΑΤ Γ records Trajan's tribunician and consular titles, providing the key dating evidence for this issue. The composition is characteristic of the high-quality civic bronze and silver coinage produced at Tarsus during the early second century AD.
