Commentary
Souvent, au revers des bronzes, nous trouvons une représentation de la Tyché d’Antioche, soit en pied avec l’Oronte nageant à ses pieds, soit un buste seul.
Often, on the reverse of bronzes, we find a representation of the Tyche of Antioch, either in full length with the Orontes swimming at her feet, or a bust alone
