| Additional information |
Tiberias, founded by Herod Antipas around 20 AD and named for the reigning emperor, held an awkward civic status for much of its early history — the city had been built over a Jewish cemetery, rendering it ritually impure and largely avoided by observant Jews for generations. By the Severan period it had rehabilitated itself considerably, and the city's bronze issues under Elagabalus reflect a municipality eager to demonstrate loyalty to a new and deeply unstable emperor. Elagabalus was only fourteen when he took the throne in 218.
