| Beschrijving voorzijde | Confronted busts of Emperor Elagabalus and Julia Maesa, facing one another within a circular legend. Elagabalus is depicted on the left with a laureate and draped bust facing right, while Julia Maesa appears on the right with a diademed and draped bust facing left. The two portrait effigies are rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Moesian mint at Marcianopolis. The encircling Greek legend names both imperial personages in their official titulature. The flan is irregular, consistent with hand-struck provincial coinage of the Severan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Marcianopolis, the major administrative hub of Moesia Inferior, issued coins jointly depicting the emperor alongside family members as a deliberate tool of dynastic legitimacy — Elagabalus having been elevated at age fourteen largely through the political maneuvering of his grandmother Julia Maesa, who convinced the Third Gallica legion that he was an illegitimate son of Caracalla. The Homonoia type specifically signals civic concord, a pointed message given how contested the succession actually was.
Legate Seleucus oversaw a narrow window of provincial coinage under this reign. His name appearing in the exergue dates this piece tightly within the 218–222 period.
