| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three military standards displayed side by side in the field, each rendered with a shaft surmounted by a series of phalerae discs and a crescent-shaped lunula finial, evoking the standards of the Praetorian cohorts honoured at Philippi. The standards occupy the full height of the die, arranged in a symmetrical composition characteristic of Macedonian colonial bronze coinage. The encircling Latin legend COHOR PRAE PHIL, reading around the periphery within a dotted border, identifies the issuing authority as the praetorian cohorts of the Colonia Iulia Augusta Philippensis. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philippi held a unique status among Roman colonies: elevated to the rank of colonia after the twin battles of 42 BC, then granted the ius Italicum following Actium, giving it the full legal standing of Italian soil. Local bronze issues like this semis circulated within an economy dominated by veterans settled there by Antony and later by Augustus himself, men who would have recognized the colonial authority behind the coin's issue far more readily than any distant imperial mint.
