| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped and diademed bust of Otacilia Severa facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and bound with a diadem, the drapery rendered across the shoulder in the provincial style typical of Asia Minor civic coinage under Philip I. The effigy occupies the central field, with the encircling Greek legend disposed around the periphery. The portrait reflects the idealized imperial imagery disseminated throughout the eastern provinciae during the mid-third century AD. |

Magnesia ad Sipylum sits at the foot of Mount Sipylus in Lydia, a city whose civic pride during the Antonine and Severan periods produced a remarkable run of local bronze issues. Under Philip I, the city was operating within the conventus of Smyrna, its coinage authorized as part of the broader provincial network that Rome permitted across Asia Minor. The magistrate name partially preserved in the legend — likely a strategus or grammateus — anchors this piece to a specific civic administration, though the full cursus of that official remains unattested in the epigraphic record.
Philip's reign coincided with Rome's millennial celebrations of 248 AD, an event that generated unusual coinage activity across the eastern provinces.
