Let's move on to Elagabalus and his family: Elagabalus, his mother Julia Soaemias, and his wives Julia Paula, Julia Aquilia Severa, and Annia Faustina.

HEY! Finally a Provincial!


RProv AE18mm 4.3g Elagabalus CE 218-222 Thrace Philippolis Moushmov 5423

 

Not sure about this little Gal:


RI Julia Aquilia Severa 220-222 CE AE 4th Wife Elagabalus

 

I think we might have missed Macrinus & Diadumenian, should be just before Elagabel, anyway I got a double header with both. Macrinus & Diadumenian, 217-218 AD,
AE 26, 11.9gm, Thrace Marcianopolis.
Triumphal arch with four statues. Varbanov 929.

 

Well, I will jump on that bandwagon, since I do not have many Provincials:


RI Didumenian and Macrinus 217-218 CE AE28 Markianopolis mint Serapis


RI Macrinus 217-218 AE25 CE Facing Quadriga

 

Nice ones.

 

I'll contribute my Annia Faustina, one of my favourite coins despite the encrustations:



Cilicia, Flaviopolis-Flavias. Annia Faustina. Augusta, AD 221. Æ 29 mm. 13.8 gm. Dated CY 148 (AD 221). Obv: Draped bust right, wearing stephane Rev: Tyche (Fortuna) seated left on rocks, holding grain ears. SNG France –; SNG Levante –; SNG von Aulock –; SNG Copenhagen –; BMC –; SNG Tahberer 718.

Hilarious! Well done!
