| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Elagabalus (attribution uncertain) facing right, apparently draped in a lion skin and holding a spear, depicted in three-quarter frontal view. The portrait reflects the syncretic iconography associated with Elagabalus, combining imperial and solar-deity attributes. The flan is irregular, consistent with provincial hammered coinage of the eastern Roman Empire. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhesaena, a garrison town on the Khabur River in northern Mesopotamia, struck coins under Roman imperial authority during a period when the region was perpetually contested between Rome and Parthia — and later Sasanian Persia. Its civic bronzes under Elagabalus are rare survivors from a mint that operated intermittently and left almost no documentary record. The town's strategic position meant its population turned over frequently, and locally struck coinage served short-term administrative needs rather than long-term monetary circulation.
