| Reverse description | Tyche of the city of Edessa, personifying the colony's fortune and prosperity, seated left upon a throne or basis, holding stalks of grain in her extended hand. A lighted altar appears at her feet, flanked on either side by a star in the field, symbols of divine protection and celestial favour. In the exergue, a river god swims to the left, representing the Daisan (Skirtos) river that flowed through Edessa. The encircling colonial legend ΜΗΤ ΚΟΛ ΕΔΕϹϹΗΝωΝ identifies this as the Metropolis Colonia of the Edessenes, reflecting the city's elevated Roman colonial status under Severus Alexander. |
