| Reverse description | Turreted, veiled and draped bust of Tyche facing right, personifying the city of Edessa as its tutelary deity. The mural crown atop her head symbolizes the city walls and her role as guardian of the colony. The surrounding Latin colonial legend identifies Edessa by its honorific titles granted under Caracalla. The reverse design reflects the city's elevated status as a Roman colony and metropolis, a distinction conferred by Caracalla himself. |
