| Reverse description | The Tyche of Tarsus, turreted and veiled, seated right upon rocks, holding a palm branch in her right hand, symbolising victory and civic prosperity. At her feet, the river god Kydnos is depicted swimming right, personifying the river that flowed through ancient Tarsus. The legend ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞ ΥΠΑΤ Ε Π Π ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΕΩΣ records Trajan's tribunician and consular powers along with the title of Metropolis claimed by Tarsus. The abbreviation ΤΑΡ appears in the right field, identifying the issuing city. The composition reflects the civic pride of Tarsus as a prominent metropolis of Cilicia Pedias. |
