| Additional information |
Tripolis on the Maeander — not to be confused with the better-known Levantine city — was a minor Lydian center whose civic coinage under Philip I reflects the broader boom in provincial bronze production that followed Gordian III's eastern campaigns. The city struck relatively little under Philip, and the conventus of Sardis as a whole issued far less civic bronze in this period than its western Anatolian neighbors.
The VIII#20628 reference places this among a thinly documented series; surviving specimens turn up infrequently in auction records.
