Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 1:14 pm Just got this one from a new lot. It shows some promise, but there isn't enough of a legend to search on, and I'm not recognizing the damaged portrait or the reverse image. AE 21 10.86g Obverse: Damaged portrait, my gut says maybe Philip I? Elagabalus? Reverse: Some sort of tower or obelisk. Can't figure out what is beneath. Legend is Greek, only legible letters are near the top, maybe "TOL" or "TOA" ID or a nudge in the right direction greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 3:47 pm Pretty sure it is Elagabalus. The reverse is depicting Mt Gerazim surmounted by a temple and altar, a stairway to the temple runs up the middle. Sorry but I don't have enough time to do a more thorough search, hope this helps though. Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 03/10/2016 01:24 am Elagabalus is right on, thanks! Assuming wildwinds is complete, that reverse of Mt. Gerizim was only used by Elagabalus and Macrinus--the portrait is definitely not Macrinus. Report this Post to the Staff
