Æ37 - Philip I ΤΡΙΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ Κ ΛΑΟΔΙΚ ΝΕΩΚ, ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ

This coin commemorates a homonoia — a formal alliance of civic harmony — between Tripolis and Laodicea, two neighboring cities in the Lydian interior that shared the rare distinction of holding neokorate status, meaning each had been granted the right to maintain an imperial cult temple. The joint issue was struck under Philip I, whose reign was largely consumed by the aftermath of negotiating Rome's withdrawal from the Persian frontier and managing the treasury shortfall that followed.

Homonoia issues between Laodicea and Tripolis are documented in only a handful of reverse types, making specimens of any condition scarce in the market.
