Elagabalus, 16 May 218 - 11 March 222 A.D., Petra, Arabia
|Roman| |Arabia|, |Elagabalus,| |16| |May| |218| |-| |11| |March| |222| |A.D.,| |Petra,| |Arabia|, The reverse legend on this type is retrograde, blundered and never clearly legible. It has traditionally been misread and misattributed to Adraa, Arabia. The correction to Petra was made by A. Kaplun in" Four Notes Regarding Reattribution of some City Coins of Arabia, Galilee and the Deca­polis" in OZeAN 2, 2020, pp. 133-40. The confusion of Tyche with Herakles is due to a very very similar type which does appear to depict Herakles in the same position, seated on similar rocks, resting his right hand on his grounded club.
