Note : Some experts wrote that this coin is one of Caracalla, but he made Edessa a colony only a few weeks before he was killed, and so it is unlikely that any coins were struck with such a young-looking Caracalla and the KOLW (Colony) reverse legend. Babelon and other numismatic scholars agree
that these coins were struck by Elagabalus
