@lrbguy Let me attempt an explanation. Over time when looking at the coins of Philip I and Philip II you can see that several coins stand out...
Apparently there are at least two II COS reverses of SS IMP that also occur for Domna.
Whilst browsing through the listings of a major German dealer I spotted this misattributed to Rome. Otacilia Severa Antoninianus Obv:– M OTACIL...
That IVLA (sic) die is quite distinctive too. [IMG] Which is conveniently reverse die linked with the COS II issues of Septimius linking these...
