<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 7805202, member: 82549&quot;]This coin is from Antioch, in Pisidia. I found an example on the Wildwinds page for <a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/philip_I/t.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/philip_I/t.html" rel="nofollow">Philip I</a>, referenced to Mionnet 89, so I assume that&#039;s how it was identified in the reference. (I not familiar with that text.) But the portrait looks pretty young--and reminds me of Gordian III--so might this be a coin of Philip II as Augustus (minted after A.D. 247)? </p><p><br /></p><p>For that matter, is it even possible to distinguish between Philip I and Phillip II as Augustus with these issues?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1340554[/ATTACH] </p><p><u><b>Philip I (&#039;the Arab&quot;) or Philip II</b></u></p><p>PISIDIA, Antioch</p><p>AE 27</p><p>Obv: IMP [M] IVL PHILIPPVS P F AVG P M</p><p>Rev: CAES ANTIOCH COL - Tyche, turreted, standing ,facing forward with head turned left, holding downward-pointing baton in right hand and spear in left; globe at feet on left; all between S and R.</p><p>&quot;Mionnet 89&quot;</p><p>27mm, 12.1g[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
