| Reverse description | Tyche of the city of Edessa seated left upon a rocky outcrop, holding a patera from which grain ears may be suspended; to her lower left, a river god—likely the Daisan—swims leftward in the exergue, personifying the local river. A cornucopia rises to the left of the composition, symbolising the city's prosperity. The civic legend appears in the field identifying the colony of Antonine Edessa. The overall composition follows established Mesopotamian provincial typology for civic personification reverses. |
