Post your Philip I "The Arab" coins in commemoration

Nice Philip I coins guys, I only have a sestertius with the temple of Roma on reverse. And a provincial Zeugma in Commagene AE 28.

 

An Antoninianus of Philip I



And a Tetradrachm of Philip I



And an Ant of Philip II

 

I'll throw in a Phil Sr. Tet of Antioch...and an Ant of Phil Jr.

 

I chose Philip I in a potin tetradrachm, as well as Philip II with a denomination of 8 assaria.

 

Nice all. I have a few to add later today.

Nice!

 

Great set of Philip Bing, I especially like your Hercules coin, it reminded me of the statue in Naples museum.

 

There's a great article in the Feb., 2002 issue of The Celator about the Antoniniani of Philip I.

 

Happy Emperor Day, Philip! (A pity it had to come during the 3rd century crisis.)

 

Nice coins all!!!

Here is the only Philip I have - a RIC 38b like @Mat 's and @Bing 's

 

Sr on top; Jr on bottom:

 

One of the first ancients I ever bought was this weathered but pleasingly chunky Ae of Philip from Viminacium.


Two ants of this historically interesting emperor.

 

For Rome's 1000th:

 

Fantastic!!
