Athalbert Pillar of the Community Spain 629 Posts	Posted 04/24/2015 09:52 am Read something about Elagabalus, the more depravated and vicious among roman emperors and you will guess what stone is that appears in that tetrastyle temple... Your coin is very interesting... Report this Post to the Staff

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 04/24/2015 5:08 pm Yes, Elagabalus, in his time came exotic "eastern" fads, like the Black Meteoric stone of Emesa, transported to Rome. The temple on the reverse of your coin looks to be showing that Temple with the stone within it. Report this Post to the Staff
