It was minted under Legate (Governor) Julius Antonius Seleucus between 218 and 222 AD. The diameter is 27 mm and is 10.73 g, die axis 0 deg. Reference Moush-632 (assumed variety), Reverse die AMNG I 847 (SNG Fitzwilliam IV, pl. XXVIII, 1551), Reverse die Zhekov/Jekov 6.26.36.3&4. Rare coin on both sides, possibly extremely rare with the obverse split. (see Patera versus Phiale page)Notes: Very odd split on the obverse legend with the ANT to the left of Elagabalus' bust.  I have not found another example of this in any reference or on any other website.  After a year and a half of watching sales, I found another coin with a split in the same place, appearing to be an obverse die match, with a reverse with Nemesis (First Nemesis coin listed below).  Odd reverse legend with EIT being in the spelling of Markianopolis rather than just IT. AMNG I lists only 2 types under Seleucus that spell Markianopolis this way, 847 for Nemesis and 858 for Homonoia. Varbanov lists only 2 types under Seleucus with EIT and only 7 types without the Legate on the reverse with LEIT. Varbanov misreferences his 1476 to AMNG I 846 rather than AMNG I 847. Glancing through the previous section from Markianopolis, the coins of Macrinus and/or Diadumenian show that spelling probably greater than half of the time for Markianopolis. Interestingly the coins of Macrinus and Diadumenian which show Homonoia with a patera over a lighted alter all are listed with her facing, head left just like most examples of Elagabalus. The closest example that Varbanov lists for Elagabalus of the reverse is 1475, facing, head left. However, clearly, the head is right on this example. AMNG I 858 which he references lists Homonoia's head looking right. Varbanov also references Moushmov 632, which doesn't list which way Homonoia is looking. He also references Antike numismatik, Liste 41 / 2003, Moesia - Dacia, Hannover (A151, 293). Curtis Clay looked this up and the dealer is Blancon in Hannover and 2 were described as per that reverse, 310&311. 311was described as head, laureate only but 310 was described as this coin on the obverse. 310 did not describe the obverse split in the legend. (As the dealer that I had received this coin from had received it from Spink, it is possible that Spink had received this from Blancon in Hannover.) A die match reverse in Zhekov/Jekov 6.26.36.3&4 incorrectly lists with IT, but clearly displays EIT. I'm still looking at the Bulgarian to see if it says head left or right, but shows head right. The obverse however show a more standard split in the obverse legend. According to their reference, they are basing the coin after AMNG I, 858, which does have the correct reverse legend listed. 858 also does state Homonia is looking right, but it states that she is standing left, which on this coin it appears that she is standing facing. It shows the split in the obverse text between the AVPH and the ANT at the standard place rather than after the ANT as this coin shows. Searching through wildwinds for this spelling of Markianopolis, there is examples of Macrinus and/or Diadumenian, and one each for Caracalla, Elagabalus, and Severus Alexander. Looking at the examples of Elagabalus and Severus Alexander, the legends were incorrect. The example for Caracalla had the legend rubbed a bit, however looking through Varbanov there are several example, but a very small percentage. This alternate spelling for Markianopolis started at some point during Caracalla's reign, was moderately used during Macrinus' reign and died out at some point in Elagabalus' reign. RPC VI, 1476 (RPC doesn't concern itself with legend splits, however Specimen 6 has the same legend split.

BMC III (Thrace) 47v v for different reverse legend, AMNG I pages 259-260 nos 850-859, no close matches due to reverse legend. Note: The obverse die is very similar, if not identical to Zhekov/Jekov 6.26.36.9 and Varbanov 1573, even to the spot in front of the ANT where it looks like the engraver changed his mind about placing an OC. The reverse die is extremely similar as well, including the blob-like area where the hand holding the cornucopia would be. I am basing the reverse legend on this evidence, though of course as the letters are obscured, I could be incorrect. Varbanov lists this coin with IT at the ending of the reverse rather than EIT, however the picture correctly shows that the spelling is EIT. He references a private collection for this coin. Zhekov/Jekov's example is also listed as IT, however the picture correctly shows the EIT. The rarity for this type might be off therefore in both references. As per mentioned earlier on this page this alternate spelling for Markianopolis started at some point Caracalla's reign, was moderately used during Macrinus' reign and died out at some point in Elagabalus' reign. The last omega and N are shown as ligature, RPC VI, 1476v. The reverse ending in ΛΕΙΤΩΝ make that rarer which is why I classified it with RPC VI, 1476 even though it doesn't have an altar, else it would be RPC VI, 1384/1474

It was minted under Legate (Governor) Julius Antonius Seleucus between 218 and 222 AD, probably 218 AD. The diameter is 26.3 mm and is 11.31 g, die axis 0 deg. Reference: Moush-680, RPC VI, 1372 (only one example shown). Moushmov just describes the reverse of coins so would not take into the difference in the obverse style. The coin that Moushmov saw for his 680 may or may not have been this coin, however as it details the reverse, it is a Moush-680. Varbanov 1684 was Varbanov's copy from Moushmov. 1684 is listed as AE27 (?) Rev. (?) Homonoia standing facing, head left, holding patera over lighted altar and cornucopia, E in field. (3,680). He did not list bust type, obverse or reverse legend as he did not see the coin Moushmov listed and Moushmov didn't list these things. Not found in Zhekov/Jekov. Not in BMC. Not in AMNG I. A very similar specimen can be found at aeqvitas.com however it is not further referenced. I found one more example of the obverse type, however with a different reverse type at coinarchives.com however the lot is no longer listed. There is also in Zhekov/Jekov and Varbanov a coin of Athena with the same obverse, however they did not distinguish the differences at all in their text. I had conjectured that as the coin did not show Elagabalus nor Julia Maesa with the normal portrait, nor did it show her diademed, that it might have been from some of the earliest dies. If you compare the portraits of Elagabalus and Julia Maesa to all the following coin examples, you can easily see the differences. The following is from Curtis Clay, posted on the forumancientcoins provincial Roman coins board in response to my questions:

"Yes, this must be the earliest portrait of Maesa at Marcianopolis, differing from the standard portrait in three regards: no stephane and hair covering back of neck as you point out, plus the bust is deeper, extending to below the empress' breasts.

This portrait is rare, and hasn't been properly appreciated the few times it has been published.

No such obverse was known to Pick in AMNG. I'm sure that given the chance Pick would have recognized its strangeness and postulated that it was Maesa's earliest obv. type at Marcianopolis!

Lanz 54, 1990, 774, published a spec. from a different obv. die than yours, rev. Athena standing l. holding owl and spear, shield at feet, but just called it "AMNG 936 var." without further comment. This coin was picked up by Varb. Bulg. 1300 = English 1664 and by Hristova/Zhekov/Jekov p. 154, third coin, but again without comment or explanation.

Lanz 117, 2003, 1006 is the specimen you found in CoinArchives, from the same obv. die as your coin, but rev. Serapis seated with Cerberus. Again the portrait is correctly described as being without stephane, but the different coiffure and deeper bust are overlooked and there is no comment on the significance of the variant; just "AMNG 939 var., very rare."

In total I have recorded about 15 specimens, from three obv. dies. I suspect this portrait may be contemporaneous with the coins of Elagabalus and Julia Soaemias at Marcianopolis, which are of a similar rarity: at first the mint struck for both Maesa with this unusual portrait and for Soaemias, but soon the stephane was added to Maesa's portrait and Soaemias was dropped from the coinage." Thank you Curtis for all of your help on this and other coins! This might be one of the rarest of my Elagabalus collection.
