In Greek Mythology Tyche was the presiding tutelary deity who governed the fortune and prosperity of a city, its destiny. She was the daughter of Aphrodite and Zeus or Hermes and she was often perceived as the cause of many unexplained events such as floods, droughts, frosts, or even in politics.
The deity appears on many coins of the Hellenistic period in the three centuries before the Christian era, especially from cities in the Aegean.
In Greco-Roman art Tyche was portrayed wearing a mural crown, and carrying a cornucopia (horn of plenty), an emblematic gubernaculum (ship's rudder), and the wheel of fortune.
