Elagabalus, 16 May 218 - 11 March 222 A.D.
|Elagabalus|, |Elagabalus,| |16| |May| |218| |-| |11| |March| |222| |A.D.|, This type celebrated Elagabalus' victory over Macrinus. Especially in the first year of his reign, Elagabalus was dependent upon the support of the troops to maintain his rule. This reverse type was likely intended not just to increase his own prestige but also to recognize the army for supporting him and congratulate them for their victory too.
