<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 2012474, member: 57463&quot;]Pontos/Amisos.&nbsp; The search was easy enough on Coin Archives with &quot;Tyche Owl&quot;.&nbsp; That took me to Pontos/Amisos where I looked down a long list of similar issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for &quot;Tyche&quot; versus &quot;Hera&quot; it is a moot point. Tyche just means &quot;fortune&quot; in Greek.&nbsp; One way to say &quot;good-bye&quot; in classical times was &quot;Eutyche&quot; for &quot;good fortune.&quot;&nbsp; The attribute was deified to mean &quot;Good fortune to our city&quot; which is why she often wears city walls as her crown.&nbsp; I believe that it began in Seleucia at Antioch and spread by cultural diffusion.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Hera does often wear a crown but it is low, not high, the ornaments are on the band, not above it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Your example fits Amisos, so I am going with Tyche.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
