                                Description

     Coin was minted in 220 AD, during the reign of Elagabalus, who
     ruled from 218-222 AD. Berytus is known today as Beirut.
     Elagabalus was a priest of the sun-god Elagabalus, and this is
     the source of the name that this emperor is best known by today.
     His reign was notable for its cruelty, bloodshed, religious
     fanaticism, and excesses of every description, and there was
     general satisfaction when he was murdered on March 6, 222. The
     obverse of this type depicts the laureate and draped bust of
     Elagabalus facing right, with legends IMP.ANTONINVS.PIVS.AVG. The
     reverse type features Sol advancing left, holding whip and
     raising his right hand, star in field left, with legends
     P.M.TR.P.III.COS.III.P.P. Coin shows a scratch on the emperor's
     chin, and some light surface granularity, but otherwise grades
     VF, with bold devices and clear legends all around. A nice
     example of the type, catalouged as RSC-154. Buyer pays
     postage/insurance, coin shipped on clearance of funds. PA
     residents please add appropriate sales tax. MC/Visa accepted for
     orders of $20 or more. For more ancients, please visit our WWW
