| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, depicted in three-quarter frontal view, wearing an elaborately decorated cuirass and aegis. The obverse legend is disposed around the bust in Greek characters, reading Α Κ Μ ΑΥΡ ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ, identifying the emperor by his official titulature as Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. The portrait reflects the typical provincial coinage style of the Conventus of Cibyra, with attention to the imperial regalia signifying military authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hierapolis in Phrygia earned the title neokoros — temple warden — through its imperial cult obligations, a status that granted the city the right to strike coins and carried genuine civic prestige in the conventus system. Elagabalus, whose four-year reign began when he was roughly fourteen, was proclaimed emperor by the legions of Syria Phoenice after Macrinus's defeat at Antioch in 218. Provincial bronzes from his reign are disproportionately varied; cities competed to advertise their loyalty to a new and deeply unusual dynasty.
