| Reverse description | Tyche of the city seated left upon a turreted throne, holding an eagle with head turned to the right; at her feet, a small reclining figure tentatively identified as a river god oriented to the right. The composition reflects the standard civic iconography of Mesopotamian provincial bronzes, associating the city's fortune with both military and fluvial symbolism. The reverse legend, partially in retrograde, names the city of the Rhesaenians along with a reference to Legio III Parthica Severiana. |
