| Reverse description | Tyche of Tarsus, turreted and veiled, seated left on a backless seat (diphros), holding an upright palm branch in her raised right hand, her figure enveloped in flowing drapery. In the lower field, the river-god Kydnos is depicted as a semi-recumbent male figure swimming to the right, his head crowned with sedge reeds, personifying the sacred river of the city. The Greek legend in the genitive case frames the composition, distributed across the upper and lower fields, identifying the issuing metropolis. The reverse composition follows the standard civic type for Tarsus under Hadrian, combining the city's patron deity with its defining geographic feature. |
