Ex Roma Numismatics sale III, 2012, 522.
Another very nice tetradrachm of Philip the Arab. As mentioned above, there is speculation that some of these coins were actually minted in Rome and just shipped to the East rather than minted there. They are so close to the Rome portraits, if not better. AMP.
