Roman Empire (Provincial). Elagabalus (AD 218-222). Æ26 Tyche seated left on rocks, holding branch, altar before; two stars in field, Orontes swimming right (No reserve price)

This Roman Imperial coin dates to the reign of Emperor Elagabalus, who ruled from AD 218 to 222. The coin is a provincial issue with a denomination of Æ26, typically made from bronze. The reverse side features Tyche, the personification of fortune and prosperity in Greek and Roman culture, seated left on rocks while holding a branch; an altar stands before her. In the field, two stars accompany the depiction of the Orontes River god swimming right, symbolizing local geographic or cultural significance to the minting province. Elagabalus was known for his unconventional and controversial rule, and coins from this period often reflect a blend of traditional Roman themes with regional influences. Such provincial coins provide valuable insight into the economic and artistic diversity of the Roman Empire beyond Rome itself, as local mints adapted imperial iconography to resonate with their communities.
