| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple with pediment and roof depicted in perspective occupies the central field, enclosing a frontal eagle with closed wings. In the exergue below, the river god Chaboras is represented as a reclining or swimming figure flanked by two palm trees, a motif emblematic of the Mesopotamian city of Rhesaena and its local river. The reverse legend encircling the design identifies the issuing authority as the Septimian colony of the Rhesaenians and the Legio III Parthica. The composition reflects the civic pride of the colonial mint and its military associations. |
