American Numismatic Society - Tyre in Phoenicia was one of the most prolific mints in the Hellenistic and Roman Southern Levant, particularly in the 3rd century AD. Whereas previous issues of Tyre were quite standardized with a limited number of coin types, under the emperor Elagabalus this number skyrocketed, showcasing an elaborate civic mythology. Professor Achim Lichtenberger of the University of Münster will contextualize this development and look at the impact of local, regional, and imperial actors on the extraordinarily rich coin production of Tyre.

Interesting, glad you posted it. I have several ancient coins from Tyre. Here's mine of Elagablus though very worn. Reverse is Astarte, trophy, victory, 28mm. Got it from David Hendin years ago.
