| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing left, depicted from the rear in a three-quarter back view, a distinctive provincial die-cutter convention. The emperor's effigy shows the paludamentum and scale armor characteristic of imperial military portraiture. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΑΥΡΗ ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ ΑΥΓ, identifying the ruler by his adopted Antonine name. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of Thracian provincial bronze coinage of the Severan period. Surface shows heavy patination and encrustation consistent with extended burial. |
