Elagabalus Silver Denarius with Sacrifice reverse, Ancient roman coin

This is a genuine Denarius from the emperor Elagabalus who ruled from 218 to 222 AD and minted in Rome. On the reverse it features Elagabalus standing left, sacrificing from a patera over a lit tripod altar, holding a branch, star in the field left.

Obv: IMP ANTONINVS PIVS AVG
Rev: SVMMVS SACERDOS AVG

Elagabalus developed a posthumous reputation for extreme eccentricity, decadence, zealotry, and sexual promiscuity. Among writers of the early modern age, he endured one of the worst reputations among Roman emperors.

It is in incredible condition for being over 1800 years old with such crisp details and would be a fantastic addition to a numismatic collection.
