Abila of the Decapolis — not to be confused with Abila in Lysanias — struck provincial bronze under Elagabalus during one of the more chaotic reigns of the third century. The emperor came to power at fourteen, elevated by Syrian legions who believed, or were persuaded to believe, he was the illegitimate son of Caracalla. The city's civic coinage continued largely undisrupted by events in Rome, the eastern mints and provincial workshops running on their own administrative rhythms.
The partially legible civic era notation ΓΠϹ, if correctly read, anchors this piece within Abila's local dating system.
