eAuction #25, Lot 37. Estimate: CHF 150.00

Philippus I (244-249 AD). AE Sestertius (28 mm, 13.49 g). Provincia Dacia. 247-248 AD.
Obv. IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind.
Rev. PROVINCIA DACIA, Dacia holding vexillums inscribed V and XIII, eagle and Lion at sides.
Ex. AN II.

Rare. Crisp Detail. About extremely fine.

The eagle and the bull were the symbols of the Legio V and XIII, whose Standards Dacia is holding. The Legio V (and likely also the XIII) took part in Philip's campaign against the Carpians in 247-248 AD, defending the remote Dacian province from the Barbaric threat.
