Commentary


Poids léger. Ptéryges à peine visibles. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. David Sear donne ce type à l’atelier de Viminacium (RCV. 8931). Nous suivons les conclusions de Thibaut Marchal qui, dans sa base internet a répertorié actuellement 847 antoniniens de l’atelier d’Antioche, dont 24 pour ce revers de Philippe Ier auguste. Néanmoins, les monnaies d’Antioche restent rares pour cette période. Sur notre exemplaire, le portrait fait penser à Philippe II auguste pour lequel quatre exemplaires de ce revers sont rencensés, mais en général, le buste du fils est toujours imberbe alors que celui du père est barbu comme sur notre exemplaire.
Light weight. Barely visible pteryges. This type seems much rarer than general works suggest. David Sear attributes this type to the Viminacium mint (RCV. 8931). We follow the conclusions of Thibaut Marchal who, in his internet database, has currently listed 847 antoninianus from the Antioch mint, including 24 for this reverse of Philip I Augustus. Nevertheless, coins from Antioch remain rare for this period. On our example, the portrait is reminiscent of Philip II Augustus for whom four examples of this reverse are recorded, but in general, the bust of the son is always beardless while that of the father is bearded as on our example

Historical background


PHILIPPUS

(03/244-09/249)

Philippe was born in Bostra in Trachonitis, a province of Arabia, hence the nickname of the Emperor. He was appointed Prefect of the Praetorium after the disappearance of Timésithée, father-in-law of Gordian III, in 243. Philip had Gordian assassinated or allowed to be assassinated at the beginning of 244, then hastened to conclude an infamous peace with the Sassanids. He pays them a tribute of 500,000 denarii. He named his son Philip Caesar in 244 and his wife Otacilia Sévéra augusta. In 247, Philip raises his son to august. He led a brilliant campaign against the Quades and the Carpes who had invaded Dacia. The great event of the reign of Philip is the commemoration of the millennium of Rome which begins on April 21, 247. Several usurpers, including Jotapien and Pacatian, proclaim themselves august at the end of the reign. Philippe instructs Decius, commander of the legions of Pannonia, to restore order on the Danube. The troops, against his will, proclaim Decius august in June or July 249. Philip dies fighting the troops of Decius in September 249.
