Æ37 - Philip I ΕΠ ΑΥΡ ΓΛΥΚΩΝΟϹ Γ ΝΙΓΡ ΑΡΧ Α ΒΛΑΥΝΔΕΩΝ ΜΑΚ

Blaundus was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Philip I leaned heavily on the prestige of named local magistrates — the inscription here records what appears to be a two-official formula, with Aurelius Glycon and a second figure sharing administrative credit, an arrangement attested in several Blaundine issues of this period. The city struck bronze at relatively large module during Philip's reign, likely to maintain visibility within the competitive civic coinage environment of the Sardis conventus, where neighboring cities such as Sardis and Philadelphia commanded far greater resources.
