| Reverse description | A frontal eagle occupies the central field, its wings broadly spread and head turned to the left, holding a wreath in its beak. Between the eagle's legs, a small temple is depicted, rendered in schematic form, evoking the sacred precinct of the local cult at Edessa. The Greek legend surrounding the design records Elagabalus's tribunician power and second consulship, providing a precise chronological anchor for the issue. The overall composition is characteristic of the civic bronze and billon coinage of Edessa under the Severan dynasty, combining imperial titulature with distinctly local religious symbolism. |
