    I'm sure this Philip Philadelphus tetradrachm of Antioch was minted later, under some Roman governor of Syria. But which one? The date is off-flan and I cannot recognize the monogram, a K ?, in the lower left field. Or is it an imitation, or a fake?

    Philip Philadelphus, tetradrachm, Antioch. AR 23-27 mm, 12.99 g, 12 h.

    I wish I could help; you've come to the ID rescue for me before. However, the Philip series isn't my forte. As a coincidence, I just bought one. It's rather hideous in person but has the original hoard patina, I think.

    It's a modern replica, details soapy and underweight. The obverse is SC 2488 paired with a non existent reverse.
