The first following coin is Roman and struck in Antioch under Emperor Hadrian circa 128 AD. It's a civic issue and has an awesome altar on reverse. The second coin is Greek showing a Phoenician ship on reverse. While both coins have apparently Tyche on obverse, I'm surprised to see that big difference in the style by engravers regarding the way they configured that famous goddess. I even suspected that the Greek-Phoenician coin has Tyche on reverse with that big nose. Could it be another goddess or queen.? Please post your view or any Roman civic or Greek Phoenician coins. Thank you.
You can also do a comparison with Zeus or any number of other dieties. Antioch Year 117/ 68 AD AE 19 Obvs: ANTIOX EΩN, Head of Zeus laureate.

I like that altar reverse! Here's a bargain bin semi-autonomous I dig... Philadelphia. Pseudo-autonomous issue. Time of Titus, 79-81 CE O: Demeter, countermark (male head?), R: grain, 19 mm, 7.0 g
