| Obverse lettering | Π ϹΕΠΤ ΓΕΤΑ ΚΑ (Translation: Publius Septimius Geta Caesar) |
| Reverse description | Tyche, the city goddess of Petra, seated left upon a rocky outcrop, extending her right hand forward and holding a trophy over her left shoulder, symbolising the city's prosperity and civic pride. The rocky seat alludes to the mountainous terrain surrounding Petra, a standard iconographic convention for this mint. The encircling Greek legend ΑΔΡΙ ΠΕΤΡΑ ΜΗΤΡ identifies the city as Hadrianic Petra, metropolis of Arabia. The composition follows the established reverse type associated with the civic coinage of Petra during the Severan dynasty. |
