| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic three-quarter back view typical of Eastern provincial issues. The effigy displays the emperor's youthful features with curled hair beneath a laurel wreath. The circular Greek legend surrounds the bust in the field, reading ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΑΥΡ ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ, identifying the emperor by his imperial titles and name. The coin exhibits the slightly irregular flan and bold, provincial style of striking characteristic of Ephesian civic bronze coinage of the Severan period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Ephesus held the title prōtē Asias — "first of Asia" — through a combination of imperial favor and aggressive civic lobbying, a status it defended jealously against rival Smyrna and Pergamon throughout the second and third centuries. The inscription broadcasting that primacy on this coin was not ceremonial modesty; it was a standing argument in an ongoing inter-city competition for Roman recognition, temple-warden titles, and the right to host imperial cult ceremonies.
Elagabalus's short reign generated a substantial provincial bronze output, partly because the new emperor's Syrian origins and religious controversies created pressure on eastern cities to demonstrate loyalty through coinage activity.
