| Reverse description | A legionary vexillum (military standard) depicted upright in the center of the field, its rectangular cloth panel adorned with a star motif at the top. The standard's staff is clearly rendered, with fringed or tasseled hanging panels visible on either side of the vexillum head. Flanking the staff in the lower field are the Greek letters Ρ to the left and Ϲ to the right, with P and S arranged around the device, serving as abbreviations likely referencing the colony's civic or era designation. The type reflects the strong military character of Rhesaena, a garrison city in Roman Mesopotamia. |
