    Nice looking coin, but isn't it a Phillipus I rather than II?

    Yeah, looks like it is probably Philip II,
    A Philip I would usually have a beard..

    I assumed it was Philip I because of the AVGG in the reverse inscription. But I just checked RIC, and there is an AEQVITAS AVGG from Antioch in the name of Philip II, so you are probably correct in your original attribution. I stand infected.

    It's the reverse legend with AVGG that threw me off. Still, I'm not certain which Phillip it's from, but I will give in to the majority.
