| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, stands facing left in a full-length draped figure. She holds a ship's rudder resting upon a globe in her right hand, symbolising guidance and dominion, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia and two stalks of grain, emblematic of abundance. The reverse legend ΛΑΟΔΙΚΕΩΝ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ, distributed around the field, identifies the issuing city of Laodicea ad Lycum and proclaims its prestigious status as Neokoros, an honour granted to cities maintaining an imperial cult temple. The composition follows the standard iconographic conventions of Phrygian civic coinage of the Severan and early crisis-period provincial series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Laodicea ad Lycum earned the title ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ — temple warden — through the grant of an imperial cult sanctuary, a civic honor fiercely competed for among the cities of Asia Minor. Philip I's reign coincided with the run-up to Rome's millennial celebrations of 248 AD, a moment when provincial cities had strong incentive to demonstrate loyalty through fresh coinage honoring the emperor. Laodicea sat on the principal road between Ephesus and Syria, making it politically well-positioned to cultivate imperial favor.
The Cibyran conventus grouping reflects Roman judicial reorganization of the region rather than any natural geographic or ethnic boundary.
