Commentary
Poids extrêmement léger. Rubans de type 3. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum. Ce type semble plus rare en denier qu’en antoninien.
Extremely light weight. Type 3 ribbons. Invisible pteryga under the paludamentum. This type seems rarer in denier than in antoninian

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.
