PHILIP I "The Arab" (244-249 AD), AR antoninianus, struck circa 247 AD

Obverse- IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right.
Reverse- ROMAE AETERNAE, Roma sitting left, holding Victory and scepter.
RIC 44b, RSC 169, 22-23 mm, 3.26 g.
Ex- Mathew Baca, through a swap on Collectors Universe, November, 2011.
Comments: I could buy these affordable antoninianii for quite a while before getting sick of them. They just pack a lot of visual bang for the buck, and often come really nice, like this.
