The river-god Hebros resting 

On the reverse side of a bronze coin dated to the time of the Roman emperor Geta, the river-god Hebros is depicted sitting on a throne. He is looking to his right. He holds a sceptre of reed in his right hand and rests his left hand on a hydria with running water. The inscription ΑVΓΟVϹΤΗϹ ΤΡΑΙΑΝΗϹ indicates the city’s name Augusta Traiana, a Roman city of the Province of Thrace (modern Stara Zagora in Bulgaria).
