Comment

This group of coins was acquired by a private collector based in Ankara. The homogeneous nature of the group indicates that they form all or were part of a single hoard. This conclusion is reinforced by the fact that the single coin of Elagabalus is considerably less worn than the nineteen coins of Philip I or Philip II.
