Hi all
I'm glad to show you my new acquisition : it's an
Elagabalus tetradrachm, minted AD 219, probably in
Emesa. It has an exquisite golden
patina that the picture does'nt show clearly. I assume it is quite
rare, only one example described in
Prieur. And in
good condition as you can see.
In short : You know what ? I'm happy
