Tyche? AE 20mm Antioch?
« on: December 26, 2007, 05:42:43 pm »
I am trying to identify this AE 20mm 5.0g.  I believe that it is Tyche's head on the obverse and either a standing figure (likely) or a tripod (unlikey) on the reverse. 



Could this be from Antioch?

You are right with the obv. It is Tyche, draped and veiled, wearing a mural crown, r.
The rev. looks like a Kabir, wearing his working clothes, holding a hammer over his l. shoulder and a rhyton in his r. hand. If this is correct (I don't know for sure, only deduced from his attitude!) then it would be from Thessalonica.

I have no access to SNG Copenhagen. Perhaps another member of our Forum could check your suggestion!

I think that the coin pretty clearly  Moushmov 6591, Table XLVI 4. /  Copenhagen 386




Thanks for your help Jochen
