| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus (attributed), facing right and viewed from the front, with the radiate crown rendered in low relief typical of provincial Mesopotamian bronzes. The obverse legend encircles the imperial effigy in Greek characters. The striking is characteristically irregular, with flatness in areas due to the hammered technique employed at the Carrhae mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carrhae was already infamous centuries before Elagabalus came to power — it was the site of Rome's catastrophic defeat by the Parthians in 53 BC, where Crassus lost his life and seven legions were destroyed. By the Severan period the city had reinvented itself as a cult center for the moon god Sin, and its colonial status under Rome gave it the right to strike civic bronze. The reign of Elagabalus produced a narrow window of issues from this mint, and survivorship is poor.
