Note: Seleukis and Pieria, particularly the city of Antioch, was an important center in the Seleucid Empire and later under Roman rule. This coin, issued during the time of Vespasian, shows the influence of Roman rule while maintaining local identities. On the obverse, the turreted and veiled bust of Tyche, the personification of fortune and prosperity, symbolizes the city’s prosperity under Roman rule. The reverse depicts a lighted altar, possibly symbolizing religious or civic rituals. This coin highlights the blending of Greek and Roman influences in the city’s culture and governance during this period.
