<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 7931661, member: 75936&quot;]Yes, Uranius is an enigma, it&#039;s really fascinating. Interestingly, most of his bronzes depict the baetyl of El-Gabal and/or the temple containing it. It&#039;s the stone (probably a meteorite) that Elagabalus worshipped. Perhaps Uranius was a priest in this temple. The coin also seems to confirm that the stone was returned to Emesa (Homs, Syria) after it briefly appeared in Rome during Elagabalus&#039; reign.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
