Message:: [QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4132435, member: 110350"]This Philip I antoninianus with a stag on the reverse is a new acquisition. It's one of the coins issued for the games held in 248 AD commemorating the 1,000th anniversary of the traditional founding of Rome: Philip I AR Antoninianus, 248 AD, Rome Mint, 5th Officina. Obv. Radiate, draped, & cuirassed bust right, IMP PHILIPPVS AVG/ Rev. Stag standing right, SAECVLARES AVGG, V in exergue.  RIC IV-3 19, RSC IV 182, Sear RCV III 8958. 4.32 g.  (Games commemorating 1,000th  anniversary of founding of Rome.) [ATTACH=full]1069754[/ATTACH] And here's another example I've had for a while: Philip I AR Antoninianus, 248 AD, Rome Mint, 1st Officina. Obv. Radiate, draped, & cuirassed bust right, IMP PHILIPPVS AVG/ Rev. Lion walking right, SAECVLARES AVGG, I in exergue.  RIC IV-3 12, RSC IV 173. 23 mm., 3.41 g.  (Games commemorating 1,000th anniversary of founding of Rome.) [ATTACH=full]1069755[/ATTACH] Finally, another Philip I antoninianus I have with an elephant reverse, that's not part of the SAECVLARES AVGG series: Philip I AR Antoninianus, 244-249 AD. Obv. Radiate, draped, & cuirassed bust right, IMP PHILIPPVS AVG/ Rev. Elephant walking left, bearing driver holding goad, AETERNITAS AVGG. RIC IV-3 58, RSC IV 17.  23 mm., 4.2 g. [ATTACH=full]1069756[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1069757[/ATTACH] (Sellers' images throughout) Please post any animal reverses you may have of Philip I or his family (given that there were some issued for Otacilia Severa and, I believe, Philip II) -- whether or not they have any connection to the 1,000th anniversary games.[/QUOTE]
