..that's a nice Phillip II coin. i've yet to get one of him.

 

Philip the Arab's son was Philip II

Nice price, wonderful portrait!

But I always lobby for the REAL PHILIP II... an UNBELIEVABLE Leader and Brillant Man (read about him, EVERYTHING that Alexander the Great accomplished was ALL because of his Father)
Died before his time:

MAKEDON Philip II 1/5th Stater Apollo head r - Horseman r trident below, Sear 6691

 

Nice one @Andres2 - Here's my sole Phillip II. I like the toning on this one, but Phillip also must have had sharp hearing!

 

How do I give @Alegandron multiple likes for his truth speaking on the REAL Philip ii.
Anyway, here's my coin of the little squirt Philip ii...


Philip II

IVL PHILIPPVS AVG,

bust of Philip II right /
CONCORDIA AVGG,

...Phillip II the 1st...

 

That's not a denarius, its a antoninianus

 

..who said it wasn't...

 

Look at the title

 

Nice Philip II coins everyone. I may have one of those coins laying around somewhere...here she is (no captive though):

 

ok..it says in the caption antoninianus

 

Its still showing up as denarius for me.

 

hmm...that's strange...

 

It says indeed denarius in the TITLE, in the description it says antoninianus , my mistake. I hope your not too confused roman99

 

Lovely obverse with nice detail!

Great pickup congrats....good price too!
