| Beschrijving keerzijde | A tetrastyle temple rendered in three-quarter perspective, shown without a roof, its columns and entablature delineated in the provincial engraving style; within the temple's interior stands an eagle with closed wings facing front. In the exergue below, the river god Chaboras is depicted swimming in reclining pose, flanked on either side by a palm tree, symbolising the fertile Mesopotamian landscape of the Khabur river region. The reverse legend naming the Septimian colony of the Rhesaenians and the Legio III Parthica runs around the periphery of the flan. |

Rhesaena was a Severan foundation in northern Mesopotamia — the city's coins routinely carry Severan dynastic references in their legends long after that dynasty's collapse, a provincial habit that reflected civic identity more than imperial loyalty. Under Trajan Decius, the mint was squeezed between Roman frontier anxiety and Sasanian pressure from the east; Decius himself would die fighting the Goths at Abrittus in 251, making the entire reign a brief window of roughly two years.
The "L III" in the legend denotes the third year of a local civic era, a dating convention specific to this mint's output.
