Æ18 - Septimius Severus ΦΙΛΟΜΗΛΕΩΝ

Philomelium, a Phrygian city on the road between Apameia and Iconium, struck its own civic bronze throughout the Severan period under the authority granted to cities within the Roman provincial conventus system. The mint was modest and output comparatively low, which accounts for the rarity of most Philomelian types today.

V.2#1022 places this among a thinly represented series.
