| Beschrijving keerzijde | A figure, identified as the emperor or empress, is depicted seated on a low stool facing left, holding a small sceptre and extending a wreath to crown the polycentric cult statue of Artemis of Ephesus. The cult statue is supported or presented by the Tyche of the City, shown standing to the right, wearing a kalathos on her head and holding a long sceptre. This reverse type celebrates the neocorate status of Ephesus and its role as a pre-eminent centre of the imperial cult in Asia Minor. The encircling Greek legend in the field proclaims the city's fourfold neocorate honour. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ephesus held the title of neokoros — temple warden — multiple times over, and the delta on this issue signals a fourth such grant, a distinction the city pursued aggressively through embassies to Rome and lavish demonstrations of imperial loyalty. Under Elagabalus, whose legitimacy rested entirely on his claimed descent from Caracalla, provincial cities had strong incentive to mint prolifically in his name and display their honours visibly. The Ephesian mint was among the most active in Asia Minor throughout his short reign.
