| Reverse description | An eagle displayed, seen frontally with wings fully spread, head turned to the right, holding a wreath in its beak — a common symbol of imperial apotheosis and divine sanction in Eastern provincial coinage. Between the eagle's legs, a small temple or shrine is depicted, complete with a pediment, referencing a local cult or sanctuary at Edessa. The reverse field carries the Greek inscription ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞ ΥΠΑΤΟϹ, referring to the tribunician and consular powers of Macrinus. The overall design reflects the distinctive iconographic tradition of the Edessan mint under Macrinus's brief reign. |
