Commentary
Rubans de type 3. Ptéryges invisibles. La variété avec l’étoile à gauche semble moins courante que le même denier avec l’étoile dans le champ à droite du revers.
Type 3 ribbons. Invisible pterygia. The variety with the star on the left seems less common than the same denarius with the star in the field to the right of the reverse

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.
