Nicely struck. Some inscription on obverse missing which appears to be minting error, not natural wear. Marcia Otacilia Severa was the wife of Emperor Marcus Julius Philippus. During their reign, Otacilia and her husband were tolerant of Christians, effectively bringing an end to their persecutions by the Romans.
