| Obverse lettering | Κ Μ Ι ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟϹ (Translation: Caesar Marcus Julius Philippus) |
| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, advances to the left in dynamic stride, bearing a palm branch in her left hand and extending her right hand to crown a trophy erected in the field. Beneath the trophy, a seated captive figure is depicted in a posture of subjugation, symbolising Roman military triumph. The reverse legend, distributed around the field and along the coin's periphery, records the name and titles of the local archon Aurelius Aineias, of equestrian rank, under whose authority the coin was issued at Magnesia ad Sipylum. The composition reflects the standard civic iconography of Roman provincial coinage in Lydia during the Philippan period. |
