Æ22 - Philip I ΙΕΡΑΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ

Hierapolis in Phrygia — not to be confused with the better-known Syrian city of the same name — struck civic bronze under Philip I during the brief window between his elevation after the murder of Gordian III and his own death at Verona in 249. The city sat within the conventus of Cibyra, an administrative grouping that continued producing local bronze long after most western Anatolian mints had wound down civic coinage, making Hierapolis issues from this period relatively scarce against the broader Philip I provincial output.
