<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 3047741, member: 87809&quot;]Have been trying to find the &quot;forgotten&quot; reference for this Elagabalus sestertius, struck apparently in Ephesus, 218 - 222 AD.</p><p>The reference I found here <a href="http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/4877/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/4877/" rel="nofollow">http://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/4877/</a></p><p>says&nbsp; RPC 4877 (temporary) and type reference is Karwiese 687.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am very confused, since it has been temporary for at least one year and that</p><p>doesn&#039;t seem to change. Maybe they forgot that the reference was temporary or maybe they are not even sure it is Elagabalus? (he doesn&#039;t look like the ones on this thread - he could also be Caracalla..)</p><p>Do you guys know for how long lasts the &quot;temporary&quot; and what exactly does it mean? Uncertain?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>33 mm, 18.56 g </p><p>Ob.: <i>[AY]T K M AYP ANTΩNЄINOC CЄ B</i> laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Elagabalus, to r.</p><p>Rv.: <i>ЄΦЄCIΩN Δ NЄΩKOPΩN</i> Tyche standing facing, looking l., holding patera and cornucopia</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]761878[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]761879[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
