<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Limes, post: 7862103, member: 101013&quot;]Thanks for the write up [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER], and lovely coin of Elagabal! I think I read somewhere that the bull dingeling theory had been discarded, but can&#039;t find it. In any case, I have no idea what it is. Elagabal is an interesting character. He had serious trouble relating to the practices of his contemporaries and I don&#039;t know why he insisted imposing his out-of-their-world religious practices on the Romans (especially the military), or at least displaying his practices in such a manner. Did he not see this would lead to his downfall? Perhaps he did, considering the comment by [USER=89514]@curtislclay[/USER] above (damage control via coinage!), but it was already too late. </p><p><br /></p><p>here&#039;s my horned denarius:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1354814[/ATTACH] </p><p>And another peculiar practice:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1354815[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
