Dandrow type 2, pl. 22, 3;
SNG Hunterian 2490-1;
SNG Righetti 2568. Dark brown
patina with sandy deposits. The
reverse legend remarkably clear.
Very fine. This coin was formerly attributed to
Carrhae based on a faulty interpretation of the
reverse legend, but recent numismatic and papyrological evidence discovered at Dura-Europos and elsewhere in the middle Euphrates region points to a
mint located at Edessa.

Dandrow paper is :

Caracalla from Edessa in Osrhoene’,

Dandrow's CV at the University of Central Florida also indicates that he has the following book in the works:
The Coinage of
Carrhae. A study and
catalogue of coins
types, their historical context and iconography minted at
Carrhae in the
Roman province of Osrhoene.
A
Google search reveals that another historian has used
Dandrow's discussion of Edessa's status under
Caracalla in "BARDAISAN OF EDESSA AND MEMORIES OF
CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IN THE NEAR EAST* by NATHANAEL
ANDRADE, just as an example of how recent numismatic research may affect our historical narative.
Andrade's paper is available as a free download from the Wiley online
library.
