| Note | The two figures are the same, except one has an anchor and the other a cornucopia. Presumably therefore one is to be identified as Ancyra, the personification of the city, and the other as Tyche = Fortuna. Thus, the 'Tyche' figure on other types, when she is holding an anchor, should perhaps also be described as Ancyra. A more traditional identification would be Homonoia. See especially https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/72668 (same obv. die). |
