Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus coin featuring Otacilia Severa is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin was minted between 246 and 248 AD, a period known as the "Crisis of the Third Century," which saw a series of civil wars, corruption, and external invasions that threatened the empire's stability. Despite these challenges, the coinage of Otacilia Severa and her husband, Emperor Philip I, continued to promote the ideals of concordia, or harmony, as seen in the CONCORDIA AVGG inscription on the coin. This suggests that the Roman Empire was still striving to maintain unity and stability, even in the face of adversity.
