| Lot description: Ancients ARABIA. Philippopolis. Philip II (AD 247-249). AE (28mm, 17.84 gm, 5h). NGC VG 5/5 - 3/5. ΑΥΤΟΚ Κ Μ ΙΟΥΛΙ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟC CΕΒ, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Philip II right, seen from front / ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ-ΚΟΛΩΝΙΑϹ, Roma (or Allat) seated on shield left, two small figures (Philip's parents) on eagle left in outstretched right hand, grounded scepter in left hand; S-C across fields. RPC VIII online unassigned 2439. From the Eyeappealing Collection. Son of Philip I, Philip II was appointed Caesar at just seven years old in AD 244 and then Augustus in AD 247. Unfortunately, he died when he was only twelve when his father was killed by Decius' army in AD 249. His death is debated, historians arguing he was killed either on the field alongside his father or back in Rome by the Praetorian Guard. www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/roman-provincial/arabia-philippopolis-philip-ii-ad-247-249-ae-28mm-1784-gm-5h-ngc-vg-5-5-3-5/p/61636-11007.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61636-08102026 HID02906262019 © 2026 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved Certification number: NGC 8230046029 |  |
