<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 7861504, member: 83845&quot;]Nice coin! I have the same victory type for Elagabalus sans the “horn” as well.&nbsp; I need to give this coin another shot at a better picture as it is much nicer in hand.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1354757[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3">Roman Empire</font></p><p><font size="3">Elagabalus </font></p><p><font size="3">AR Denarius, Rome mint, struck ca.

Yeah the horn theory is plausible and seems to have been the dominant mainstream theory since the 19th century.&nbsp; Still some interesting questions to answer if it is a horn. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Wow I just googled pizzle and learned more than I wanted to know.
