Description: Philip I "the Arab" | AR Antoninianus Reference: RIC IV 44 Date: 244-247 CE Obverse: IMP M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG: Bust of Philip the Arab, radiate, draped, cuirassed, right Reverse: ROMAE AETERNAE: Roma, helmeted, draped, seated left, holding Victory, winged, draped, in right hand and sceptre in left hand; at side, shield Mint: Rome Size: 22.9 mm Weight: 4.08 grams EVERLASTING ROME. The Roman belief in ultimate victory was one of the Empire's greatest strengths, with roots all the way back in the days of the Republic. Mistakes would be made, battles lost (Cannae, Teutoburg Forest, Adrianople, etc.), cities sacked, but Rome would always prevail in the long run. This very fine antoninianus advertises that belief with a reverse legend ROMAE AETERNAE (To Everlasting Rome). Some cleaning scratches and minor porosity.
