On the reverse, the statue of the Tyche of Antioch, the river Orontes swimming at her feet, in an arched shrine on two columns, a simplified version of the shrine depicted on 3rd c. coins. This pentanummion depicting the pagan Tychaion of Antioch, at a time when the empire was officially Christian, is probably one of the latest Roman temple coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
