Æ30 - Philip I ΕΠΙ ΙΟΥΛ ΚΟΔΡΑΤΟΥ ΥΙΟΥ ΙΠΠΙ ΑΡΧ ΚΟΤΙΑΕΩΝ

Philip I's reign coincided with a surge in civic bronze production across Phrygia, as cities competed to display loyalty to the new emperor through local coinage bearing their magistrates' names. The magistrate named here — Julius Quadratus, son of Hippias — follows a pattern common to Cotiaeum, where archonships often passed within elite families across generations. Quadratus's patronymic suggests his father may have held civic office before him, a detail occasionally traceable through other surviving bronzes from the conventus.

Cotiaeum sat on a major road junction in Phrygia Salutaris, which sustained its mint activity well into the third century.
