                                Description

     Coin was minted between January 1 and March 6, 222 AD, during the
     final year of the reign of Elagabalus, who ruled from 218-222 AD.
     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, bearded, seen from front, with a horn
     above his forehead, signifying his divine power. The legends read
     IMP.ANTONINVS.PIVS.AVG. The reverse type features Elagabalus
     standing half-left, sacrificing out of patera over lighted altar
     and holding club, with a star at left. The legends read
     P.M.TR.P.V.COS.IIII.P.P. Coin grades a nice AVF, with clear to
     bold devices and legends all around. A nice example of this very
     scarce final year type of Elagabalus, catalouged as RSC-213c. All
     coins guaranteed genuine without limitations. 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. Member ANA, PAN. For more ancients, please

     Thanks!
