<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 6285659, member: 91820&quot;]Here is an Elagabalus dupondius, ca. 218 AD - RIC 285, 25mm, 12.11 grams. All of Elagabalus&#039; dupondii are quite rare - this was among first of his type issued at the Rome mint, and shows a rather homely face. The dupondius at this point was like a coin without a purpose, but I still like the way the hair shows through the crown.&nbsp; The rather thin flan is typical of the Severan period dupondii I have handled. I rather like the dupondii of Severus Alexander and Maximinus although I do not have any examples from either emperor. In fact, I do not think I have ever seen a dupondius of Diadumenian, Maximus, Balbinus, Pupienus, </p><p>&nbsp;Gordian I, Gordian II, or Gordian III as Caesar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an interesting questions&nbsp; - What emperor struck the last dupondius?was it Gallienus, Postumus or someone else?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1248998[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1249000[/ATTACH] u[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
