Need help with Philip I Provincial

Oh, I got his wife ! I mean : same coin from Otacilia Severa. Had it swapped at last sunday's coin fair... These bronzes are quite common, except the small denominations, but for Otacilia not common at all... The Viminacium coinage lasted from Gordianus III till Gallienus...
The bull and the lion are the emblems of Legions VII and IV, which were quartered in the province...

Thank you for that factoid! Let's see your Otacilia!

 

Well, guess I was a bit too enthousiast... It is indeed an Otacilia, same reverse type, but struck in Dacia...*blush*

 

Close enough...right next door to Moesia in fact.

 

:bangg:

Rudi: Thanks for the input. I was having difficulty with translating the reverse legend (PMSCOLVIM):

PROVINCIA MOESIA SVPERIOR COLONIA VIMINACIVM
