| Beschrijving keerzijde | A serpent coiled to the right occupies the central field, depicted in a naturalistic provincial style with its body forming overlapping coils. This serpent type is a well-attested reverse motif on provincial bronzes of Hierapolis in Phrygia, likely referencing a local cult or healing deity. The circumferential Greek legend proclaiming the city's neocorate status runs around the periphery of the flan. The overall strike is worn and the flan shows the irregular shape typical of small Severan-era provincial issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hierapolis in Phrygia earned the title neokoros — temple warden — through the imperial cult, an honor that brought prestige, tax advantages, and a direct stake in advertising loyalty to whoever sat on the throne. Elagabalus's reign lasted just under four years before the Praetorian Guard murdered him and his mother in a latrine and dragged their bodies through the streets of Rome. Civic bronzes struck in his name were not systematically recalled in the provinces, which is why they survive at all.
