Æ24 - Philip I Ϲ ΑΥ ϹΤΡΑΤΟΝΕΙΚΙΑΝΟΥ ΤΗΜΝ

Temnus was a minor Aeolian city whose civic coinage under Philip I reflects the broader provincial minting activity that flourished during his reign — a period when the Roman Empire simultaneously celebrated its millennial games in 248 AD and began fracturing under military pressure on the Danube frontier. The city's coins are scarce in any condition, a function of its modest population and limited regional economic reach rather than any dramatic historical event.

The magistrate name encoded in the obverse legend, Stratonikianos, is otherwise unattested in epigraphic records from Temnus, making this issue one of the few surviving traces of his tenure.
