I can find no coins of Elagabalus attributed to Timbriada in any reference. There are similar reverses for Caracalla without the horses. However the portrait on this coin with the very full lips, heavy jowls and large eyes screams Elagabalus. Therefore I believe the description in the auction catalog is correct.
