    Struck under Roman Emperor Lucius Verus, the following coin shows Tyche seated on reverse with river god Euphrates swimming at her feet. It was originated from Tyana in Cappadocia and weighs 8.93 g. Lindgren 1740. Please post your coins from TYANA.

    I'll be surprised if many respond. Tyana is a tough city.

    Here is a Pius of Tyana:
    pius-tyana-both.jpg
    CAPPADOCIA, Tyana. Antoninus Pius (138-161 AD), AE 14mm, axis 0°, 3.18g
    Obv: ΑΥΤΟΚ [ΑΝΤωΝƐ]-ΙΝΟС СƐΒΑСΤ; Laureate head right, all within beaded border
    Rev: ΤVΑΝЄΩΝ ΤΩ ΠΡ [Τ] Ι[ЄΡΑ] / ЄΤ - ?; Perseus standing facing, holding head of Medusa and harpa.
    Ref: RPC online 10197 (temporary) varient

    When I first searched for this coin I thought it was unpublished. I then realized the unique coin and unpictured coin at RPC 10197 seemed to match a coin CNG couldn't find a reference for: https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=192612

    I worked with Tom Mullally to get an image of CNG's coin to RPC. I am now trying to get this coin added. It has the same types as RPC 10197, but different inscriptions.
