| Reverse description | Standing female figure, identified as Homonoia or Providentia, depicted facing with head turned to the left. She holds a globe in her extended right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm, both attributes emblematic of divine concord and abundance. The figure is rendered in full-length drapery in a provincial Hellenistic style. The surrounding Greek legend ΥΠΕΡ ΝΙΚΗϹ ΡΩΜΑΙΩΝ, meaning 'For the Victory of the Romans', encircles the field, reflecting the civic loyalty of Carrhae to Rome during the Parthian campaigns of Marcus Aurelius. |
