| Beschrijving keerzijde | The river god Karmeios, personification of the local river of the Hadrianopolis region, is depicted reclining to the left in a languid, classical pose. He holds a cornucopia in one arm and a reed in the other, while resting his elbow upon a tilted water urn from which water flows, symbolising the river's source. The figure is rendered nude or semi-draped in the tradition of Hellenistic river-god iconography. The Greek magistrate's legend is distributed around the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip I came to power after the death of Gordian III on campaign against Persia in 244 — circumstances suspicious enough that ancient sources accused Philip of engineering the murder himself. The magistrate name preserved in this coin's legend, Rufus, helps anchor it within the small sequence of civic bronzes attributable to Hadrianopolis in Phrygia during Philip's reign, a city sometimes confused in the literature with the more prominent Hadrianopolis in Thrace.
