                         Instigated Gordian's death;
                 presided over Rome's 1000th Anniversary Games
                                 244-249 A.D.
      Denomination:
                  Æ Sestertius
      Date:
                  c. 244 A.D.
      Obverse:
                  IMP.M.IVL.PHILIPPVS AVG.
                  Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right
      Reverse:
                  LAET.FVNDATA S.C.
                  Laetitia standing left, right foot on prow, holding
                  patera and rudder.
      Diameter:

      Weight:
                  22.75 g
      Condition:
                  EF
      Reference:
                  S 2495; RIC 176a
      Remarks:
                  This large bronze of Philip Senior, the Arabian, is
                  designated as scarce in RIC.  This coin has superb
                  detail on gorgeous colors of charcoal and olive
                  green.  The photo hides most of the detail -- every
                  hair on his head and in his beard is there.  There is
                  a slight scrape on his beard, but it is not a
                  distraction.

                                  Bidding

               12c Philip I Sestertius - EF (Item #75950703)

                        Starts at           $325.00
                        Bid increment         $5.00
                        Minimum bid         $325.00

        Current minimum bid is 325.00
       Your maximum bid.

       Please type only numerals and the decimal point (if
       required). Do not include currency symbols such as a dollar
       sign ('$') or commas (',').

       Binding contract.
            Placing a bid is a binding contract in many states. Do
       not bid unless you intend to buy this item at the amount of
       your bid.

       Proxy bidding for all bids
            Please bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay
       for this item. Your maximum amount will be kept secret; eBay
       will bid on your behalf as necessary by increasing your bid
       by the current bid increment up until your maximum is
       reached. This saves you the trouble of having to keep track
       of the auction as it proceeds and prevents you from being
       outbid at the last minute unless your spending limit is
       exceeded. (See an example of proxy bidding). Also, in case
       of a tie for high bidder, earlier bids take precedence. And,
       keep in mind that you cannot reduce your maximum bid at a
       later date. Unless otherwise noted, bids are in U.S.
       dollars.
            If you have bid on this item before, note that your new
       bid must be greater than your previous bid.
