Commentary
Poids léger. Revers inhabituel. Pour le règne d’Élagabal, le classement repose sur les travaux de Marcel Thirion, Les monnaies d’Élagabale, Bruxelles 1968 et sur ROME I. Les différentes émissions de l’atelier de Rome, ont été reclassées grâce à la théorie des cycles. L’atelier de Rome travaille en officines et non pas en fonction du métal comme l’avaient décrit les numismates du XIXe siècle.

The various issues of the Rome mint have been reclassified using the theory of cycles. The Rome mint works in workshops and not according to the metal as 19th-century numismatists had described.

Historical background
ELAGABALUS
(16/05/218-12/03/222)
Proclaimed emperor on May 16, 218, Elagabalus, sole august until the end of June or the beginning of July, left Syria to join Rome. Elagabalus stops at Nicomedia. He spent the whole winter there and fell ill. It was therefore in this city that he took up his second consulship. Elagabal will not arrive in Rome until July or September 219, bringing the black stone of his cult to install him in his capital. He will never return to Syria, quickly assassinated after an unequaled reign of turpitude and disorder.
