Æ23 - Philip I ΝΕΙΚΟΜΑΧΟϹ ΑΡΧΙΕΡ ΤΗΜΕΝΟΘΥΡΕΥϹΙ

Temenothyrae was a small Lydian city whose civic coinage effectively ended with Philip I — the city appears to drop out of the provincial minting record entirely after his reign. The magistrate name ΝΕΙΚΟΜΑΧΟΣ paired with the title ΑΡΧΙΕΡ (archiereus, high priest of the imperial cult) identifies this as an issue tied directly to local religious administration, a common mechanism by which provincial cities funded and legitimized small bronze emissions under the Severan and post-Severan systems.

Philip I's reign coincided with Rome's millennial celebrations of 248 AD, which prompted a surge in provincial civic issues across the eastern mints.
