    I just checked the list of cities:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E2tZfrXnmQZcb9XAQKHUQCTLOzFUsKeHfHJBfowiAwc/edit#gid=0
    and it seems we don't have a Philippopolis (until now).
    PhilipPhilippolis14133.jpg
    Philip I, 244-249. Struck 247-249 at Philipopolis.
    19 mm. 4.83 grams.
    This city was apparently the birthplace of Philip and the small settlement was elevated to a city by Philip. Archaeology shows the buildings there was almost all from the time of Philip. Coins were struck there only during his reign and are apparently rare (as the late appearance in this thread testifies).
    Coin type 5 in
    Butcher, "Two related Coinages of the third Century AD: Philipopolis and Samosota" IJN 1987, pages 73-84 and plates 24-29.
    Not in Sear Greek Imperial Coins.
