Æ25 - Philip I ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ

Prusa ad Olympum, a Bithynian city at the foot of Mount Olympus, struck provincials under Philip I during a period when the emperor was simultaneously managing Gothic pressure on the Danube frontier and the fallout from having almost certainly arranged the assassination of his predecessor Gordian III in Mesopotamia. The city's coin output under Philip is modest, and this denomination sits in the middle of a small civic series that was likely discontinued before his reign ended at the Battle of Verona in 249.
