CPK Posted February 19, 2023 · Supporter Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Hello everyone! I have updated the original post with the same information, but I will share it here at the other end of the thread as well: 2/19/2023 UPDATE: First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who has participated in this thread! It's been a ton of fun to see all the incredible portrait coins posted and I look forward to seeing many more! 👍 NOW, as we progress through the history of the mid-later Roman Empire, things get complicated. Lots of joint-emperors, usurpers, and short reigns, not to mention the East/West split. In order to organize the posting a bit, and give people an opportunity to see in advance when to post which Emperor, we (by which I mean @Severus Alexander!) have created a schedule which we'll be using from now on: (Please feel free to save/download the schedule for your own reference.) This will let folks know what to expect and relieve me of having to make that decision every 48-hour period. 😄 ALSO, in order to further streamline the schedule, I am introducing a set time - 7pm Eastern Standard - as the time when we switch from one Emperor to another. That way, I do not hold up the thread if I am unable to introduce the new Emperor for whatever reason. From now on, 7pm EST every 48 hours is the time we move on to the next Emperor's portraits! And once again, a huge THANK YOU to @Severus Alexander for putting in so much effort to help me organize and streamline the thread! 👏👏👏 ************************* Looks like we have about 10 minutes left for Gordian III before moving on to Philip(s) the Arab! 🙂 10 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor DonnaML Posted February 20, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Well, it's after 7 pm, so I might as well start things, by posting my SAECVLARES AVGG coins of Philip I, Otacilia Severa, and Philip II. The set has always been among my favorites because of the animals, of course. I will post some other coins of Philip & family, mostly Provincials, later on tonight or tomorrow.

There seems little likelihood of the common goat having been featured as one of the exotic animals in the arena, whereas the northern European elk (North American moose) would have been a most suitable candidate." Otacilia Severa (wife of Philip I) AR antoninianus AD 248, Rome mint, 4th Officina. Obv. Draped bust right, wearing stephane, crescent behind shoulders, OTACIL SEVERA AVG/ Rev.

RIC IV-3 Philip I 24(c), RSC IV 193, Sear RCV III 8961 (ill. p. 154). 23 mm., 4.15 g., 6 h.

This Philip I elephant antoninianus is also generally believed to have been issued in AD 248 (even though it does not bear the SAECVLARES AVGG legend), but also does not bear any officina number: Philip I AR Antoninianus, ca. 247/48 AD, Rome Mint.
