<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1058044, member: 5739&quot;]Well, I had been watching this Otacilia Severa coin from one person for a few days, and I got her. Very cheaply I might add. I did get her on ebay, so if I sniped it from anyone here, my apologies. After I won it so inexpensively, I took a look and found one of Herennia Etruscilla, another Empress I had wanted a coin of for a while, so I bid on that too, and also won it very cheaply. So I now have two new ladies to wait for. Both with PUDICITIA AUG reverses. One standing one sitting. I will show you all the pics I have so far. Let me know what you think.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really love this Otacilia Severa Antoninianus, I wanted one with the title that had &#039;MARCIA&#039; written out instead of just &#039;M&#039; I also wanted one with good detail of what looks like crosshatching on the braid on the back of her head(clearly visible in the second picture of the obverse only) and this one has both! and for half the price of most the ones I see with far less detail, and a far less beautiful portrait. </p><p>The Herennia one is very nice and round, and has a pretty good portrait. Now I have the whole family of both Philip I and Decius, minus only Hostilian.</p><p><br /></p><p>Top Photo:</p><p>------------------------------------</p><p>Marcia Otacilia Severa, Wife of Emperor Philip I</p><p>AR Antoninianus, Rome Mint</p><p>obv:&nbsp; MARCIA OTACIL SEVERA AUG- Draped bust right, seated on crescent.</p><p>rev:&nbsp; PUDICITIA AUG - Pudicitia seated facing left, removing veil from face and holding sceptre.</p><p>--------------------------------------</p><p>Bottom Photo:</p><p>--------------------------------------</p><p>Herennia Etruscilla, Wife of Emperor Decius, Mother of Herennius Etruscus</p><p>AR Antoninianus, Rome Mint</p><p>obv: HER ETRUSCILLA AUG - Draped bust right, seated on crescent.</p><p>rev: PUDICITIA AUG - Pudicitia standing left holding scepter and drawing veil from her face.</p><p>--------------------------------------[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
