218 AD., Macrinus, Rome mint, Æ As, RIC 152.
Macrinus, Rome mint, January 218 AD.,
Æ As (24-26 mm / 9,90 g),
Obv.: IMP CAES M OPEL SEV MACRINVS AVG, laureate, cuirassed bust of Macrinus right, seen from front, with medium to long beard.
Rev.: PONTIF MAX TR P - II / [COS] II P P / S - C, emperor holding branch and eagle-tipped scepter in quadriga left, crowned by Victory standing behind him. RIC IV, II, 18, 152 .

Rare and historical.
This type commemorates the consulship that Macrinus assumed on 1 January 218 while still absent in Syria. The legend calls Macrinus COS II, but this was an error: the emperor had decided to content himself with the title COS in 218, but the mint had not yet learned of his decision.
