Commentary


Poids très léger. Petit pan de paludamentum visible de chaque côté du buste. Portrait tout à fait exceptionnel pour Élagabal. Rubans de type 2. Le favori est bien visible sur la tempe. C’est la deuxième fois que nous proposons à la vente un buste lauré avec pan de paludamentum sur l’épaule qui semble complètement inédit et non répertorié pour Élagabal. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés (cf. MONNAIES 38, n° 727).

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.
