Summary:This short paper draws the attention to the potential of ancient numismatics for the interpretation of New Testament texts. In this context, an ancient coin that was minted in Philippi is considered in relation to the way in which the first readers may have understood the statements about the exaltation of Christ in Phil 2:9-11.

In diesem Zusammenhang wird eine Münze hervorgehoben, die in Philippi geprägt wurde, und die von Bedeutung sein dürfte für die Interpretation der Erstrezeption der Aussagen über die Erhöhung Christi in Phil 2,9-11.
