| Reverse description | Tyche of the city of Edessa seated left upon a raised base or throne, her right hand extended holding ears of grain, emblematic of civic prosperity and fertility. At her feet stands a lighted altar. Below the base, a river god swims left, personifying the Daisan (Skirtos) river associated with Edessa. The reverse legend in Greek encircles the type, citing the city's status as metropolis and colony. The composition follows the established iconographic programme of Mesopotamian civic bronzes, combining urban and chthonic symbolism. |
