<p>[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 3022206, member: 91461"]As embarrassing as it is to admit, I had posted this Elagabalus in a Caracalla thread not long ago. I bought it from the seller as a Caracalla. Had it listed as a Caracala. And then recently I was going through my collection, reIDing and putting labels next to my coins (thanks for the idea and template [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER] and [USER=87404]@Justin Lee[/USER] ). I couldn't find a Caracalla with this reverse anywhere. Low and behold, I found it...under Elagabalus<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! Major derp. It's still one of my best portraits. So, hail the emperor who would tell you, "I'm no emperor. I'm a lady." or at least that's what he allegedly said to one famously well endowed gladiator. Oh, the stories we get from this one...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]751771[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]751772[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Caraca...Elagabalus, Denarius</p><p>Obv: Laureate and draped bust of Elagabalus.</p><p>Rev: Abundantia facing right emptying contents of cornucopia.
