| Additional information |
Phocaea, the Ionian city credited with inventing coinage in the Western tradition, was still producing civic bronzes under Philip I as part of the conventus system that gave provincial cities limited autonomy to strike for local use. The magistrate name ΕΠ Ϲ ΚΛ ϹΚΡΕΙΒΩΝΙΑΝΟΥ — Gaius Claudius Scribonianus — served as the presiding official (ἐπί) whose name guaranteed the issue, a practice that makes die-linked series under specific magistrates traceable across Philip's five-year reign.
