A correction for Elagabal

Elagabal, AD 218-222
AE 27, 11.07g, 26.83mm, 0°
struck under governor Novius Rufus
obv. AVT K M AVRH - [ANTWNEINOC]
         laureate head r
rev. VP NOBIOV ROVFOV NI - KOPOLITWN PROC ICT
        in l. and r. field RO - N
        Tyche Euposia as City Goddess, wearing mural crown, stg. l., holding cornucopiae in l.
        arm and rudder in  outstretched r. hand; on the cornucopiae a small child (Ploutos) std.
        l.!
ref. a) not in AMNG:
            rev. cf. AMNG I/1, 1972 (different die breaks, doesn't mention Ploutos nor mural
            crown!)
            obv. AMNG I/1, 1968
       b) Varbanov cf. 4090 (doesn't mention Ploutos!)
       c) Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2018) No. 8.26.38.19 (plate coin)
coll. Hoeft

Because Tyche Euposia here doesn't wear a kalathos as usually but a mural crown she should be called "Tyche Euposia as City Goddess"! This is very rare. I know only one other type, for Commodus from Markianopolis.

Best regards

Hi clueless!

I have played a bit with color and contrast. I hope you can agree.

Jochen,

"I have played a bit with color and contrast. I hope you can agree."

No problem, I'm well aware of the hue produced by my light source and I haven't been able to solve that problem without editing the pictures themselves.

Cheers,

Clueless
