Philip I - Unknown Eastern Mint - Virtus Exercitus
Unknown Eastern Mint. Philip I - AR Antoninianus. 3.3 grams, flan crack.

obv: IMP C M IVL PHILIPPVS P F AVG PM - radiate, draped & cuirassed bust right. Seen from behind.
rev: VIRTVS EXERCITVS - Virtus standing right, holding spear & resting hand on shield.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The extra obverse titles give away the fact that this was struck at the Unknown Eastern Mint, another obverse type has the 'PM' underneath the bust of the Emperor on the Obverse.
One of three known reverse types struck at this Unknown Mint of the East of the Emperor Philip I. The other two are the ' PAX FUNDATA CUM PERSIS' - and 'SPES FELICITATIS ORBIS'
----------------
Now, I know some other people on here have some other, and much nicer examples from this mint, and I would encourage them to post them in this 'Roman Mint Styles' Gallery.
Some people classify these coins as being from Antioch, here is an interesting link:
