Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 07/07/2019 09:17 am Looks like a Provincial issue of Caracalla from Cappadocia. Edit: I think now it may be Elagabalus, not Caracalla. Mt. Argaeus on altar reverse, Cappadocia (Caesarea). Edited by Kamnaskires 07/07/2019 11:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 07/07/2019 11:09 am I think it's actually an issue of a young Elagabalus - Caracalla's coins seem to place the date mark (ET(gamma)) under the mountain, while Elagabalus has the date mark emblazoned on the altar below, like this coin does. Caracalla also spells out 'KAI', while Elagabalus shortens it to 'K', like this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
