Æ26 - Philip I ΚΑΙϹΑΡΕΙΑϹ ΓΕΡΜΑΝΙΚΗϹ

Caesarea Germanica was a small inland city in Bithynia whose civic coinage essentially ceased after Philip I — the mint falls silent in the numismatic record following his reign. Whether this reflects the city's economic contraction, loss of minting privilege, or simply the upheavals of the third-century crisis is unresolved, but this type sits near the end of a very short civic minting tradition.
