| Additional information |
Tiberias, founded by Herod Antipas around 20 AD on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, held the unusual distinction of being built over a cemetery — rendering it ritually impure under Jewish law and initially populated largely by non-Jews and compelled settlers. By the Severan period the city had rehabilitated its status considerably, functioning as the administrative capital of Galilee. This issue dates to the very opening of Elagabalus's reign, minted within months of his forces defeating and killing Macrinus at the Battle of Antioch in June 218.
