<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 26228381, member: 128351&quot;]These four figures are Tyches, they all wear a mural crown, as one can see on well-preserved specimens like this one (Ira &amp; Larry Goldberg Coins &amp; Collectibles Inc. 145, 25–26 Feb. 2025, lot 661) : </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1675106[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3">(not my coin, I&#039;m not the one who bought it)</font></p><p>see other specimens : <a href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/26775" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/26775" rel="nofollow">https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/26775</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Of course I wonder what object is held by this eutychidian Tyche of Damascus.

The very same 4 tyches are figured on coins of Tyre of the same reign, and it would mean that Tyre and Damascus were leaders of their local <i>koinon </i>for the imperial cult.<i> [ATTACH=full]1675107[/ATTACH]</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
