Æ26 - Elagabalus ΔΙΟΚΛΕΑΝΩΝ ΜΟΞΕΑΝΩΝ

Diocleia was a minor Macedonian community whose civic coinage under Elagabalus falls within the Conventus of Apamea, an administrative grouping that bundled smaller poleis under Roman provincial oversight for judicial and fiscal purposes. The dual ethnic legend — ΔΙΟΚΛΕΑΝΩΝ ΜΟΞΕΑΝΩΝ — suggests a synoikism or at minimum a formal association between Diocleia and the otherwise obscure settlement of Moxea, a pairing unattested before this reign and likely formalized under the administrative reshuffling that accompanied the chaotic transition from Macrinus to Elagabalus in 218.
