| Additional information |
Tium was a minor Bithynian coastal city whose civic coinage under Philip I reflects the broader pattern of provincial bronze production that flourished during his reign — a period when Philip was simultaneously managing Gordian III's legacy, negotiating a humiliating peace with Shapur I on the eastern frontier, and positioning his own dynasty for legitimacy. Provincial mints like Tium operated under local magistrates whose names occasionally appear in the legends, offering the only surviving record of their tenure in office.
The ethnic legend ΤΕΙΑΝΩΝ confirms civic attribution to Tium specifically, distinguishing it from neighboring Bithynian issues.
