| Reverse description | Draped bust of Abgar X Phraates, king of Osroene, facing right and wearing the characteristic tall Parthian-style tiara; a star appears in the field behind the portrait. The surrounding Greek legend ΑΒΓΑΡΟϹ ΒΑϹΙΛΕΥϹ identifies the vassal ruler. The provincial style reflects the blending of Roman and Mesopotamian artistic traditions at the Edessan mint. |
