Rev: ?HMAPX - E? Y?AT G Beardless bust of Melqart r., laureate, with lionskin tied under chin.
The Melqart reverse type is usually indicative of Tyre, but on tetradrachms of Trajan it shares obverse dies with the Tyche of Antioch type, so was in fact probably struck at Antioch along with that type (RPC, p. 445).
