| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate head of Severus Alexander facing left, with draped shoulder visible. The emperor's portrait is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Mesopotamian civic coinage of the Severan period. The Greek imperial titulature legend is arranged around the effigy in the field. The strike is somewhat irregular, consistent with the hand-hammered production of this provincial mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Edessa occupied an awkward position under Roman rule — nominally a client kingdom until Caracalla abolished the Abgarid dynasty outright in 214 AD, after which it was reorganized as a Roman colonia. The civic bronze coinage issued under Severus Alexander reflects this uneasy transition, with local magistrates asserting municipal identity through Greek-language issues even as Latin colonial status was being consolidated. The ΜΗ ΚΟ abbreviation on this type indicates Metropolis Colonia, a designation the city used to assert dual status.
