Note
Confirmation required. The reading COL AE[ ] and an attribution to Aelia Captolina (where the coin was previously attributed) has been rejected on the advice of D. Hendin. The coin seems to read COM[ and the style of the reverse is like the other ploughing scenes at Comama. See https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/73862. Although the portrait here looks more like Elagabalus, it could also be Caracalla.
