| Additional information |
Sagalassus, high in the Pisidian mountains of southern Anatolia, was one of the most prolific civic minting centers of the Roman imperial period — and under Elagabalus it continued striking bronze with the same bureaucratic regularity it had maintained for generations. The city's output under this emperor is not rare, but individual dies show considerable variation in execution quality, a known feature of Pisidian civic mints where engravers worked without the centralized oversight of an imperial facility.
Elagabalus reigned just four years before his murder by the Praetorian Guard in 222, which sets a hard terminus for this type.
