Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Otacilia Severa (PVDICITIA AVG; Pudicitia) was issued during the reign of Emperor Philip II (244-249 AD), who was known for his attempts to reform the Roman Empire's economy and military. The coin's design, which features the goddess Pudicitia (modesty) on the reverse, may have been intended to promote the idea of modesty and moral values, which were highly valued during Philip II's reign.
