Pisidia, Antioch/Philip I/River God

[gordian_guy]

Collecting provincials of Philip I is a bit outside my interest area, except when I find one that is interesting - in that it is not the standard, standards reverse type that plagues the city's coinage after Gordian III. This one a nice AE25 of Philip I depicting a reclining River God Anthios, much in the form and fashion of the Phrygian example depicting Gallos that I posted of GIII last night.
