Philip I. Antoninianus; Philip I; 244-249 AD, Antioch, 244 AD, Antoninianus, 3.44g. C-113 (10 Fr.), RIC-69 (S). Obv: IMP C M IVL PHILIPPVS P F AVG P M Bust radiate, draped, cuirassed r. Rx: PAX FVND - ATA CVM PERSIS Pax standing l. holding branch and transverse scepter. On this scarce early Eastern antoninianus Philip commemorated the peace he patched up with the Persians after Gordian III\'s death during a campaign against them. P M on the obverse probably stands for not Pontifex, but Parthicus or Persicus Maximus, a victory title which is also found on some early inscriptions of the reign but was then apparently dropped..
