| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Otacilia Severa facing right, her hair elaborately waved and drawn back, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style typical of mid-third century Egypt. The empress is portrayed with a stephane-like diadem and richly draped shoulders, the bust truncated at the chest. A Greek legend encircles the field, identifying her as Marcia Otacilia Severa Augusta and mother of the Augustus. |
