Commentary


Portrait tout à fait inhabituel. Association rare pour la deuxième émission d’un buste radié, drapé et cuirassé, vu de trois quarts en arrière avec ce type de revers. Ce type est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages de référence.

Historical background


ELAGABALUS

(16/05/218-12/03/222)

Proclaimed emperor on May 16, 218, Elagabalus, sole august until the end of June or the beginning of July, left Syria to join Rome. Elagabalus stops at Nicomedia. He spent the whole winter there and fell ill. It was therefore in this city that he took up his second consulship. Elagabal will not arrive in Rome until July or September 219, bringing the black stone of his cult to install him in his capital. He will never return to Syria, quickly assassinated after an unequaled reign of turpitude and disorder.
