<p>[QUOTE="Alex22, post: 5413165, member: 102942"]There are a few coins with similar Tyche depictions brought in <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/geographic-personifications.365508/page-3" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/geographic-personifications.365508/page-3">http://www.cointalk.com/threads/geographic-personifications.365508/page-3</a>, along with one that has the Tyche-river god (Araxes) combination minted in Tigranocerta (80-68 BC, mint-wise attributed in C. Foss. "The Coinage of Tigranes the Great: Problems, Suggestions and a New Find" in NC 1986, and in F. Kovacs' "Armenian Coinage in the Classical Period"). The city god-river god combination is fascinating, considering that most cities started at around a river, hence people may have looked at the city/river unity in a special symbolic way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
