In late Roman sets the figures, usually four, represented the Tychai of [[Rome]], [[Tyche of Constantinople|Constantinople]], [[Alexandria]], and either [[Antioch]] (more usual, as in the [[Esquiline Treasure]] of about 380 AD) or [[Trier]], as in the [[Calendar of 354]]. The Tychai may be seen wearing a [[mural crown]] (a crown like the walls of the city).

Another common depiction of Tyche in the Greco-Roman period was Nemesis-Tyche.<ref name=":2" />

=== Tyche of Rome ===

=== Tyche of Constantinople ===
Amin mentions that the attributes of the Tyche of Constantinople included a [[cornucopia]].<ref name="BM" /> Tyche was still a figure in Constantinople, depicted on coins well into early Christian Rome. Matheson argues that the Tyche of Constantinople replaced the one of Antioch as the typical representation.<ref name=":1" /><gallery>

=== Tyche of Alexandria ===
The Tyche of Alexandria "hold sheaves of corns and rests her foot on the bow of a ship" as described by Amin.<ref name="BM" /> This could be related to how other depictions of Tyche, like the one in Sparta, are seen with ships rudders.<ref name=":3" /> This is because she can steer events argues Matheson.<ref name=":1" /> Also, Pindar describes her power over ships "At thy bidding, swift ships are steered upon the sea.<ref name=":1" /><gallery>

Several artefacts feature the Tyche of Antioch with a male swimmer personifying the [[Orontes River]] at her feet according to Amin.<ref name="BM" /> Her importance to the river is also strengthened by her being considered an Oceanid, according to Giannopoulou.<ref name=":0" /> The Antiochene Tyche maintained relevance much later into the Christian dominated empire, as show by official ''Pentanummium'' coins minted during the reigns of [[Justin I|Justin]] (r. [[518]]-[[527]]) and [[Justinian I|Justinian]] (r. [[527]]-[[565]]) that depict her in her temple on the reverse.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wildwinds - Justin I |url=https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/byz/justin_I/sb0111_AVG.jpg}}</ref><gallery>
