Description: Philip I the Arab | AR Antoninianus Reference: RIC IV 15 Date: 248 CE Obverse: IMP PHILIPPVS AVG: Bust of Philip the Arab, radiate, draped, cuirassed, right Reverse: SAECVLARES AVGG: She-wolf, standing left, suckling the twins Romulus and Remus Mint: Rome Size: 23.0 mm Weight: 3.01 grams MILLENNIAL COMMEMORATIVE. Continuing the tradition of Claudius and Antoninus Pius before him, the celebration of the Secular Games at the end of every century since the founding of Rome culminated during the reign of Philip I, as the city celebrated her 1,000th anniversary in 248 CE. The legends on these issues almost exclusively read SAECVLAES AVGG, and feature a similar iconography from previous games, such as the she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, the various wild beasts paraded through the amphitheater, and a cippus inscribed for the preservation of the memory of these events. Worn example of a very highly sought after type. Some crystallization. Priced accordingly Policies I apply the highest ethical standards in selling ancient coins.
