| Reverse description | Two Tyches standing facing one another, clasping right hands across a flaming altar set between them; above the altar, an eagle displayed with wings spread. To the left, the zodiacal figure of Aquarius stands atop a column. In the lower field, a reclining river-god is depicted, personifying the local waterway. The composition is enclosed by a Greek colonial legend identifying the city of Rhesaena. The design reflects the city's pride in its Severan colonial status and its symbolic ties to civic and celestial protectors. |
