| Additional information |
Diocleia was a minor Macedonian settlement elevated to civic coinage rights under Roman provincial administration, grouped within the Conventus of Apamea. The double ethnic legend — pairing Diocleians with Moxi — reflects an synoikism or administrative linkage between two communities sharing a single bronze issue, a practice occasionally documented in the Macedonian conventus but poorly understood in this specific case. Elagabalus's brief, chaotic reign generated provincial coinages across the eastern empire with unusual consistency, as local mints moved quickly to acknowledge the new Severan claimant after Macrinus fell in 218.
