And of course I forgot to respond -I owned an example, foolishly sold, and saw another one for sale in much better condition. These are quite...
I have a post card of the coin somewhere from the BM - with both sides.
Pax is rare for Elagabalus - the doubling on the reverse inscription is interesting - wonder why the figure is not doubled as well? Blake
I agree! I had one that took three or four years - then I’m looking through a book on the Limdgren collection of Greek bronzes and there it is....
