| Reverse description | A togate priest advances to the right, ploughing with a yoke of two oxen, holding an augural staff (lituus) — a standard colonial foundation scene evoking the ritual inauguration of a Roman colony. Above the scene, an eagle perches atop a palm branch, holding a wreath in its beak. In the exergue below, the river god Chaboras (Khabur) is depicted swimming or reclining, personifying the local river. The Greek legend around the field reads ϹΕΠ ΚΟΛ ΡΗϹΑΙΝΗϹΙωΝ with the date formula L III P, indicating regnal year 3 of the provincial era. |
