Additional information

Apamea's claim to host the Phrygian Koinon — the regional assembly that coordinated festival games, imperial cult worship, and inter-city diplomacy — was a matter of civic prestige fiercely contested among Phrygian cities. The magistrate name Pelagonton recorded on this issue is otherwise poorly documented, which is itself useful: it anchors the coin within a narrow administrative window during Philip's reign and distinguishes it from the more frequently cited Apamean issues of the preceding Gordian period.
