Obverse description Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Philip I (Philip the Arab) facing right, depicted from the rear in three-quarter view, a characteristic provincial die-cutting style. The imperial effigy shows the emperor in military attire with visible paludamentum (military cloak) fastened at the shoulder. A Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The portrait exhibits the bold, somewhat coarse modeling typical of Phrygio-Lydian provincial bronzes of the mid-third century AD.
