| Reverse description | A ram leaping to the right occupies the central field, enclosed within a circular laurel wreath tied at the base. The ram, depicted with naturalistic detail, serves as the civic symbol and astral emblem of Nisibis, referencing the city's association with the zodiacal sign of Aries. The Greek colonial legend ΙΟΥ ϹΕΠ ΚΟΛΩ ΝΕϹΙΒΙ ΜΗΤ surrounds the wreath, proclaiming the city's honorific status as a metropolis and Severan colony. The composition is typical of the civic bronze coinage struck at Nisibis during the reign of Philip I. |
