ABOUT THE COIN:
The sestertius started as a small silver coin during the Roman Republic, issued only on rare occasions. At the time of the Roman Empire, the coin was reissued as a large brass coin worth one quarter of a silver denarius.
Philip 1 ruled from 244-249 AD. During his reign, the city of Rome celebrated its millennium. Philip was betrayed and killed at the Battle of Verona but his five year reign was considered uncommonly stable in a turbulent 3rd century.
