Cr 293/1  AR Denarius  L. Philippus
113 to 111-ish  BCE
o: Head of Philip of Macedon right, wearing royal Macedonian helmet; under chin, Φ; behind, ROMA monogram
r: Equestrian statue right, base inscribed L. PHILIPPVS; below horse, flower; in exergue, XVI [mono]
Marcia 12.  3.92 gm   21.00 mm 
The obverse oddly depicts Philip V of Macedon, sometime ally and sometime opponent of Rome, and seems to point to an earlier claim by the Marcii Philippi to a connection to the Macedonian dynasty.  The reverse likely depicts a statue of another Marcius in the Roman Forum.  There are monograms, flowers, and other elements to round out an array of meanings.  The bronze issues, a quadrans and uncia, are also a bit busy and a bit scarcer. 

This is a really nice coin, with a bit of deposit at 9:00 obverse, but I just can't get enthusiastic about the type.
