| Reverse description | Draped, veiled, and turreted bust of Tyche, the personification of the city's fortune, facing right, her turreted crown indicating her role as civic protectress. Above the bust, a ram leaps to the right, serving as the zodiacal symbol of the city of Nisibis and its Mesopotamian astral tradition. The abbreviated Greek colonial title ϹΕΠ ΚΟΛΟ ΝΕϹΙΒΙ ΜΗΤ (Septimia Colonia Nisibis Metropolis) is distributed around the field within a dotted border, attesting to the city's elevated colonial and metropolitan status. |
