Additional information

Philip I's reign coincided with Rome's millennial celebrations of 248 AD, and provincial mints across Asia Minor — Ancyra among them — struck heavily during this period to meet the surge in ceremonial and civic demand. The magistrate name rendered here, Zoilos, appears in the archon sequence for Ancyra with the designation ΑΡΧ Α ΤΟ Β, indicating a second term in the first archonship — an administrative distinction the city recorded with unusual consistency on its bronze coinage, making magistrate sequencing for this mint more traceable than most Galatian issues.
