    Dear All,

    I have this Tet from Macrinus, but is it from Odessa or Rhesaena?
    or?

    Thanks for help. IMG_0221.JPG IMG_0222.JPG

    MESOPOTAMIA, Edessa. Macrinus. AD 217-218. AR Tetradrachm. Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Eagle standing facing, head right, with wings spread, holding wreath in beak; shrine between legs. Prieur 863

    Coin is OK too, not a fake, just porous.

    coin is perfect got around 100 syrian Tets, this one is so nice because it is not the same thickness overall, just a silver metal slab hit by a hammer, so rough but good.
