Marcus Julius Philippus (Philip the Arab, born in what is now Syria) was an emperor of Rome who reigned over peace for a few short years. The Roman Empire had existed for 1,000 years as Philip reigned. Although the empire was largely at peace and prospered during Philip’s reign, he was murdered by his successor, thirsty for power.
This beautiful silver double-denarius was minted during his reign. It is a attractive in-hand. Come buy our coin shop in Palos Verdes to view it for yourself before purchase.
