City Goddess seated left on rock, holding ears of corn, River God Orontes swimming at her feet, above ram running left. S C in field 31-33mm 13.97 grams   Elagabalus AE25 Moesia Inferior - Markianopolis Obv. Laureled head right Rv. Euthenia standing left holding corn ears and cornucopia 25mm 10.49 grams   Elagabalus AE26 Nikopolis ad Istrum Obv. Radiate bust right Rv.

A nicely struck example with plenty of detail.  The Antoninianus still hadn't become the norm.Elagabalus Antoninianus Obv:â€" IMP CAES M AVR ANTONINVS AVG, Radiate, draped bust right Rev:â€" MARS VICTOR, Mars advancing right, holding trophy and spear References:â€" VM 7, RIC 122 (Scarce), RCV02 7491, RSC 112  He produced coins in the east too...Elagabalus Denarius Obv:â€" ANTONINVS PIVS FEL AVG, laureate draped bust right Rev:â€" CON_SVL II P P, Aequitas standing left holding scales and cornucopia Minted in Antioch, A.D. 218-219 Reference:â€" RIC 167.
