Reverse description A legionary vexillum (military standard) depicted upright in the central field, flanked by two eagles standing: the left eagle faces right with head turned right, while the right eagle faces right with head turned left. The arrangement of the eagles and vexillum underscores the military character of the issue and the strong legionary presence in the region. The partially legible legend references Legio III, with the abbreviation ΡΣ likely denoting a further epithet or numeral. The reverse design reflects the close association of Rhesaena's civic coinage with Roman military imagery.
