| Reverse description | Tyche of the city, personification of Rhesaena, seated left upon a rocky outcrop, holding an eagle with its head turned to the right. At her feet, a river god swims leftward in the exergue, looking back over his shoulder — likely representing the Khabur or Balikh river associated with the city. The reverse legend in Greek and Latin encircles the central type, identifying both the civic community of the Rhesaenians and the presence of Legio III Parthica Severiana, underscoring the military character of this colonial provincial issue. |
