Though traditionally attributed to Tyre because of their Melqart reverse type, these tetradrachms of Trajan have recently been reassigned to Antioch by Butcher and RPC, since they share obverse dies with coins showing Antioch's normal reverse type of city goddess seated on rocks with river god swimming at her feet.
