| Reverse description | The Tyche of Edessa seated left upon a throne or basis, her figure rendered in the conventional manner of provincial civic coinage, holding stalks of grain in her extended hand as a symbol of the city's prosperity. At her feet, a lighted altar is depicted, emphasizing the sacred character of the city's patron deity. The reverse legend, arranged around the central type, identifies the mint city and its colonial status. The composition follows well-established Mesopotamian provincial typology associated with Edessan civic issues of the Severan period. |
