Æ30 - Philip I ΓΡ ΤΡΥΦΩϹΙΑΝΟΥ ΑΡΤΕΜΙΔΩΡΟΥ ΝΥϹΕΩΝ

Nysa ad Maeandrum, a prosperous city in the Maeander valley of Lydia, held the right to strike bronze coinage under Roman provincial arrangements — a privilege that cities competed for and sometimes lost. This piece names two magistrates, Tryphosianus and Artemidoros, whose joint tenure is attested across a small cluster of issues from Philip I's reign. The pairing of two eponymous officials on a single series is relatively uncommon in Nysaean coinage and may reflect a specific administrative arrangement within the city's civic hierarchy rather than routine rotation.
