		Among the cities, which are enumerated by Greek and Oriental names in the geography and conquest of Syria, we may distinguish Emesa or Hems, Heliopolis or Baalbec, the former as the metropolis of the plain, the latter as the capital of the valley.
		In the days of Paganism, both Emesa and Heliopolis were addicted to the worship of Baal, or the sun; but the decline of their superstition and splendor has been marked by a singular variety of fortune.
		Not a vestige remains of the temple of Emesa, which was equalled in poetic style to the summits of Mount Libanus, while the ruins of Baalbec, invisible to the writers of antiquity, excite the curiosity and wonder of the European traveller.

		The triumph of the God of Emesa over all the religions of the earth, was the great object of his zeal and vanity: and the appellation of Elagabalus (for he presumed as pontiff and favourite to adopt that sacred name) was dearer to him than all the titles of Imperial greatness.

	Julia Domna
		Julia Domna was from Emesa, a city in southern Syria and was probably born in the 160s CE.
		Such a story is not unlikely since any astrologer would realize that the daughter of the high priest of Elagabal at Emesa would most assuredly marry well, possibly even a king; and Bassianus may have 'obtained' the horoscope for his daughter as a convenient way of attracting the best possible suitors.
		Septimus was closest to Rome and after guaranteeing the safety of Julia and his children, the 'avenger of Pertinax' as he now called himself, allowed his troops to hail him as emperor at Carnuntum on April 9, 193 CE and began the almost 700 Roman mile march to the capital.

		Thus, in reference to the early years of the Severan age, it must be appreciated that so far as the question of "propaganda in the imperial coinage" is concerned, there was no uniformity of approach, either from year to year or from mint to mint.
		In a recent article in the Rivista Italiana di Numismatica (Vol XCVI), I suggested that the so-called mint of "Emesa" began to strike denarii for Septimius Severus at around the beginning of AD 194, and initially drew its reverse types largely from those already struck in AD 193 at Antioch for Pescennius Niger.
		Consequently, when in early AD 195 Septimius Severus continued his mopping-up operations against former allies and sympathisers of Pescennius Niger, and conducted a campaign in Mesopotamia, the mint was well aware that these activities had to be presented in the most heroic and flattering manner possible, so far as the coinage was concerned.
