Moushmov#36 (shared with As/Dupondius)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Philip I, also known as Philip the Arab, who ruled the Roman Empire from 244 to 249 AD. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to restore peace and stability to the empire after a period of turmoil. The coin's design, which includes an image of the emperor and various other symbols and inscriptions, provides valuable insight into the political and cultural climate of the time.
