<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryan McVay, post: 8048752, member: 117904&quot;]OK. I have included this coin in a couple of posts in the past and I thought I had this guy attributed. But today I was going through McAlee and sorting my Elagabalus AE by McAlee numbering and then I was stumped by the attribution of this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am leaning towards Elagabalus. But the portrait, rough as it is, had me asking if this was Macrinus (beard). The surfaces are rough so I can&#039;t tell if this is a beard or just pitting.</p><p>Next, I looked through some McAlee supplements and saw that they added a few variations for Severus Alexander (855). I&#039;m leaning away from Severus as he isn&#039;t depicted with a beard. </p><p>Anyway, there are a couple of things I need to point out on the reverse. The first is that the wreath has these two chainlink features..which I can&#039;t find in any other Antioch AE reverse type. The closest die I can find is 791(a). This could be the 4/8 leaf example mentioned in footnote 186.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the right leaping types have a ground line- also described as a &quot;thigh and leg of an animal&quot;. McAlee 792</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help is greatly appreciated!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1393494[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
