| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped bust of Otacilia Severa facing right, her hair elaborately waved and drawn back in the characteristic Severan fashion. The effigy is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Phrygian civic coinage of the mid-3rd century AD. The circular Greek legend surrounds the bust within the field. The portrait conveys the imperial dignity of the Augusta, wife of Philip I. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip I came to power after the death of Gordian III in Mesopotamia in 244 — circumstances suspicious enough that ancient sources accused Philip himself of engineering it. His reign saw the elaborate celebration of Rome's millennium in 247/248, and provincial mints across the east struck heavily during these years, partly to fund the spectacle and partly because a new emperor needed his face distributed fast.
Hierapolis in Phrygia, under the Cibyra conventus, was an active civic mint precisely because it was prosperous — the city's wealth derived substantially from its textile dyeing industry, exploiting local mineral-rich springs.
