| Obverse description | Radiate and cuirassed bust of the Emperor Philip I (Philip the Arab) facing left, depicted three-quarter face from the front, with a balteus (military shoulder strap) crossing the chest. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Mesopotamian civic coinage. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΥΤΟΚ Κ Μ ΙΟΥΛΙ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟϹ ϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. A dotted border frames the design. |
