[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 4279766, member: 84744"]Star in right field (apparently a mistake). [ATTACH=full]1089150[/ATTACH] Detail on the reverse. Is there a horn? I think so.

[ATTACH=full]1089151[/ATTACH] Regarding the merits and demerits of Elagabalus, I really must very strongly object to the fact that he tried to arrange the death of his cousin, Severus Alexander!! :shifty: :D Here's poor little SA while his meanie cousin was still alive.
