<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3583539, member: 85693&quot;]I am reviving my own thread because I just got another antoninianus from what has been described as an issue of Philip the Arab&#039;s military mint for the Carpic Campaign.&nbsp; Relevant links are above.&nbsp; I realize it is just a theory, but a lot of thought and research went into it, and it impresses the heck out of me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p><br /></p><p>My new one is for his son Philip II.&nbsp; According to Thibault Marchal and others, the IOVI CONSERVAT (and variations) are part of this issue:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;If there is an obvious link between IVNO CONSERVAT (Cohen 20, RIC 127) and IOVI CONSERVAT (Cohen 13, RIC 213) coins, the link it is less evident for the Philip II AETERNIT IMPER type (Cohen 6, RIC 226) - often attributed to the mint of Rome - which nevertheless can be attributed to this same group. Indeed, the engraving style for the bust as well as for the letters constituting the legends (have a look at the excellent stylistic study from Jyrki Muona) is similar to that of IOVI CONSERVAT coin. These three types as well as their rare variants with long reverse legend IVNO CONSERVATRIX (Cohen 21, RIC 128) and IOVI CONSERVATORI (described by H. Cohen under number 13a, then copied in the Roman Imperial Coinage under number 214) thus form an issue that can not be stylistically attributed to the mint of Rome...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://marchal.thibaut.free.fr/e_auxiliary.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://marchal.thibaut.free.fr/e_auxiliary.htm" rel="nofollow">http://marchal.thibaut.free.fr/e_auxiliary.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my latest: </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]956385[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Philip II Antoninianus</b></p><p><b>(c. 245-247 A.
