Elagabalus, 16 May 218 - 11 March 222 A.D., Dium, Coele Syria
|Consigned| |Returned| |2021|, |Elagabalus,| |16| |May| |218| |-| |11| |March| |222| |A.D.,| |Dium,| |Coele| |Syria|, Rosenberger describes the altar as a "figure (?) with plumes headdress, on pedestal." The Rosenberger coin is worn and the "figure" is a bit taller and thinner than our altar, but the coin does seem to be this same type.

The site of ancient Dium (Dion, Decapolis) has not been conclusively identified. The four leading candidates for Dium are Tell al-Husn and Edun, both near Irbid, in north Jordan, Kufr Abil, near Pella, and Tell al-Ash'ari, near the Syrian border town of Der'a.
