| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Emperor depicted on horseback advancing to the right, clad in the chlamys (military cloak) and holding a spear in his raised right hand, in a pose emblematic of imperial victory and martial authority. The horse is shown in a prancing gait. The reverse field carries the civic legend naming the issuing city of Philomelium and the local magistrate responsible for the coinage. The composition reflects the standard honorific equestrian type widely employed in Phrygian provincial bronze issues of the Severan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philomelium, a Phrygian city on the road between Apameia and Iconium, held the right to strike civic bronze through the patronage system — the magistrate named in this issue's legend, M. Julius Paulinus, would have funded or overseen the minting as part of his civic obligations, a form of competitive euergetism among the provincial elite. These local bronzes were never intended for wide circulation; they functioned within the city and its immediate territory, and survival depends almost entirely on how thoroughly the local soil has been worked.
