Elagabalus Bronze Denarius – Roman Emperor: 218-222 A.D.
This 29mm bronze denarius from Tyre in Phoenicia, issued during the reign of Emperor Elagabalus, showcases Astarte being crowned by Nike while Marsyas and a murex shell adorn the design. Elagabalus had a reputation for eccentricity and excess, which challenged the tradition during this rule. The denarius, equivalent to a day’s pay for a skilled laborer, symbolized Roman influence and prosperity between the Phoenicians. This coin reflects the fusion of political power and artistic expression. Its rarity and portrayal of Astarte’s crowning mark of period of Tyre’s history when its colonial status was temporarily suspended due to a rebellion by the Third Legion Gallica’s legate, altering the city’s destiny.
