| Reverse description | Turreted and draped bust of the Tyche of the City facing right, personifying the civic fortune of Edessa. To the right of the bust, a small temple with a pediment is depicted in the field, serving as a local civic emblem. The encircling Greek legend reads ΜΗΤ ΚΟ ΕΔΕϹϹΗΝωΝ, identifying Edessa by its metropolitan colonial status. The overall composition is typical of Mesopotamian civic bronze coinage of the Severan era. |
