| Reverse description | The Tyche of the city is depicted seated left upon a rocky outcrop, holding corn ears in her hand as a symbol of civic abundance and fertility. At her feet stands a lighted altar, and below the main figure a river god swims leftward, personifying the local waterway in a composition typical of Mesopotamian provincial coinage. The design reflects the syncretic religious iconography common to Roman colonial mints in the East. The surrounding Greek legend identifies Carrhae as a Roman colony and metropolis of Mesopotamia. |
