Mysia, Parium. Elagabalus. A.D. 218-222. AE (22.36 mm, 6.46 g, 2 h). ANTONINVS PIVS FEL AV, laureate, draped and cuirassed, beardless bust of Elgabalus, seen from behind / C G I H P, Capitoline wolf right, looking back at twins, Romulus and Remus suckling. Cf. SNG Copenhagen 295 var. (legends / Caracalla); Cf. BMC 107 var. (Caracalla); Gerhard Hirsch Nachfolger, Auction 332, lot 2574 , 20.09.2017 (Elagabalus). VF, green-brown original patina.

equally compelling cognates are quoted on-line for both Caracalla and Elagabalus with the same/very similar legends, etc. Elagabalus chosen here on the basis of portrait (bare-faced), obverse legend, and style of the reverse. It could be either, however.
