Nice coin, and I like it because the reverse reminds me of Zues on the revere of drachms/tetradrachms of Alex III.

Really nice example of an early AR Antoninianus, when they still had silver of some significance in them (about 40% for Elagabalus)

I wanted to say again that is a great portraiture, I especially like the level of detail and preservation in the ear and hair. Really exceptional!
