Greetings fellow ancient collectors, Yesterday was my local coin clubs annual show, and the sole coin I purchased was one I couldn't leave without. It is my second sestertius in my collection, and has a appearance I really enjoy. Also comparing what I paid for it to eBay and Vcoins prices, I got it for a song of a price! Here she is: Otacilia Severa Æ sestertius. MARCIA OTACIL SEVERA AVG, diademed draped bust right / PVDICITIA AVG, Pudicitia seated left, hand raised to pull veil from face & holding scepter, SC in ex. RIC 209a, Cohen 55 Feel free to post any of your sesterce of Otacilia, or of her husband! -Mike
Is it actually that green? Regardless, it's a nice looking coin. I only own one coin of hers but it's an Antoninianus: OTACILIA SEVERA AR Antoninianus OBVERSE: OTACIL SEVERA AVG, diademed draped bust right on crescent REVERSE: PIETAS AVGVSTAE, Pietas standing left, holding box of perfumes Struck at Rome, 244-249 AD 2.7g, 22mm RIC 130
