TYPE Byzantine Empire, Justin I (518-527 AD), bronze pentanummium (5 nummi), Antioch mint DESCRIPTION . Obv: Diademed and draped emperor's bust to right, Latin legend [D N IVSTI]NVS PP AVG Rev: The Tyche of Antioch seated in a shrine, reverse "epsilon" to left REFERENCE: SB 111 GRADING: F, dark patina w/ orange highlights ORDER INFO: B1693, $26 Although even during Roman times Tyche (Fortuna) ceased to be a true pagan deity and became an allegorical personification of Fortune, this is a unique and unusual Byzantine coin type; no doubt a concession to this great city where her cult had a long history and reached its apogee, this (along with an analogous issue by Justinian I) can still be considered the last pagan vestige on Roman coinage.
