Commentary
Rubans de type 2. Légende de droit complètement inhabituelle. C’est le seul exemplaire que nous ayons proposé à la vente. Semble toujours inédit et non recensé. Manque à tous les ouvrages recensés. De la plus grande rareté.
Type 2 ribbons. Completely unusual caption. This is the only example we have offered for sale. Still appears to be unpublished and unlisted. Missing from all listed works. Extremely rare.

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.
