Philip I, also known as Philip the Arab, is portrayed on the obverse, highlighting his role as the emperor who sought to stabilize the empire during a time of internal strife and external pressures. His reign was marked by efforts to restore order and assert Roman authority. The reverse of the coin depicts Victoria, the personification of Victory, symbolizing the emperor's achievements and the divine favor believed to accompany his rule. Victoria's presence on the coin underscores the importance of military success and imperial triumph in legitimizing Philip's reign. This coin thus serves as both a testament to Philip I's efforts to reinforce his legitimacy and a reflection of the broader Roman ideals of victory and imperial prestige during the mid-3rd century AD.
