	Philip the Arab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Philip was not willing to repeat the mistakes of previous usurpers, and was aware that he had to return to Rome in order to secure his position with the senate.
		The uprising was crushed and Philip nominated Gaius Messius Quintus Decius as governor of the province.
		In April 248, Philip had the honour of leading the celebrations of the one thousandth birthday of Rome, founded in 753 BC by Romulus.

	Arab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Following the Islamic conquest of the 8th century, however, the language of the nomadic Arabs came to be regarded as preserving the highest purity by the grammarians following Abi Ishaq, and the term kalam al-ʿArab "language of the Arabs" came to denote the uncontaminated language of the Bedouins.
		During the 8th and 9th centuries, the Arabs (specifically the Umayyads, and later Abbasids) forged an empire whose borders touched southern France in the west, China in the east, Asia Minor in the north, and the Sudan in the south.
		Efforts to reconcile the Biblical and Arab genealogies later led to conflicting attempts to trace Adnan to Ishmael (Ismail), the eldest son of Abraham and Hagar.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Phillip the Arabian
		Philip the Arab seems to have been born sometime during the reign of Septimius Severus.
		Philip was acclaimed the new emperor and was firmly in control by late winter 244.
		Philip needed cash during his reign: he, for example, had to pay the Persians for the peace at the beginning of his reign, he launched the building of his hometown in Arabia, Philippopolis, and the celebration of the thousandth anniversary of Rome was certainly very expensive.

	Philip I - Description
		Philip professed the greatest respect for the Senate and had no trouble being confirmed by them, as well as having Otacilia made Augusta and their son raised to the rank of Caesar.
		Philip had no doubt seen the problems which Maximinus had because of his refusal to visit Rome after becoming Emperor, and he resolved to return to Rome as quickly as possible.
		Philip's reign is generally regarded as benevolent, there was no persecution of Christians during his reign, and he was one of the few so-called 'soldier Emperors' to have established good relations with the Senate.

		Philip was married to Otacilia Severa and together they had a son (Philip II or Junior) and possibly a daughter.
		The existence of the daughter is uncertain and considering Philip's apparent devotion to his family it is unlikely that she would have completely escaped the notice of history.
		By then, both Philip and her son were dead and with no chance of a revival of the dynasty, there would have been no need for her death.

		In fact, we know that Philip and his brother, Caius Julius Priscus, were sons of one Julius Marinus, and they were born in Shahba, a town that still exists today 100 kilometers (62 mi) east of the Sea of Galilee, and which, after Philip's accession, was renamed Philippopolis.
		Philip was born about 204, in the years of the Severan emperors, and both boys witnessed the growing autocracy and militarism of the Roman Empire as its rulers struggled to meet new dangers.
		Philip's background, though scorned by Roman blue-bloods, was one of the reasons he inspired confidence among soldiers who were locked in a discouraging, seemingly endless, struggle with the Sassanids.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.02.13
		As Arabs today, wherever they may live, grapple with defining their identity in relation to Europe and America, Philip represents either a positive example of integration or a warning on the dangers of engagement.
		Philip, one of Gordian's praetorian prefects, is often blamed for the emperor's death, which in these versions is said to have occurred at the hands of the soldiers.
		Late-antique Latin sources claim that Philip was killed in Verona, perhaps after a battle but certainly by his own troops, and that Philip's young son (who had received the title of Augustus from his father) was subsequently killed by the praetorian guard in Rome.

	Philip I and Family
		On the left we see a typical radiate, bearded portrait of Philip I. Employing 'traditional wisdom', the combination of the early form obverse legend with the reverse plural abbreviation AVGG would suggest the coin was issued after Philip II was named Augustus in 246 AD but before the adoption of the shorter obverse legend (247?).
		Bronze coins for Philip and family were struck at Rome in the three standard denominations (sestertii, dupondii and asses) paralleling many of the types of the silver issues.

	ARAB CIVILIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE WEST
		Incidentally, this Roman Emperor who was known as "Philip the Arab", was preceded to the Palatine Hill in Rome by a series of Arab empresses, half-Arab emperors, and the fully Arab Elagabulus of Emesa.
		Although the Arab Abbasid State of the east and Arab Andalusia of the west existed at the same time, they were not united because of the rivalry between their Arab leaders.
		To be exact, the Arabs stayed in Europe 781 years during which they introduced to the West a wonderful civilization; religious tolerance; racial harmony; public baths; and the novel idea of cleanliness expressed in public and personal hygiene by washing the human body with water.

	Philip II - Description
		Philip I quickly ingratiated himself to the Senate by deference and to the populace of Rome by reforms and donatives.
		It is not certain whether Philip II accompanied his father on that campaign, but he was proclaimed Consul for 247 (along with his father), and upon his father's return he was proclaimed Augustus, also receiving the title 'Pontifex Maximus'.
		Some sources indicate that Philip II died with him, although the prevailing opinion is that Philip II had remained in Rome with his mother, who, fearing Decius, took refuge in the Praetorian camp upon hearing the news from Verona.

	Chapter 2
		Consequently, the population of the Land was a "quilt" of minorities when the Arabs acquired it in their conquest of Byzantine Syria in A.D. This quilt of people whose Land was dubbed "Palestine" by Imperial Rome was composed of Jews, Samaritans, dissident-Christians and the largest grouping-Syrian Orthodox Christians-none of whom were Arabs.
		By 1918 the Arab population increased to 560,000.
		Referring to the same Arab view of Palestine in 1939, George Antonius spoke of "the whole of the country of that name [Syria] which is now split up into mandated territories…"[45] His lament was that France's mandate over Syria did not include Palestine which was under Britain's mandate.

		Subsequently the standing Roman was identified as Philip the Arab, who paid Shapur tribute (Caratelli 1947, 225), and the dead Roman as Gordian III, killed in battle.
		However, he proposed that the kneeling figure surely represented Philip the Arab, who sued for peace in 244, while the standing figure, his hand held by the king, must show Valerian, captured in 260.
		The dispute as to whether the kneeling or the standing Roman represents Philip the Arab or Valerian, continues to this day, and without fresh evidence is unlikely to be resolved to the satisfaction of all.
