Description [Starlord's Ancient Coins & Artifacts] ROMAN PROVINCIAL 'DUAL-BUST' OF PHILIP I & OTACILIA SEVERA [AE - PHILIP I (Provincial)] AE - PHILIP I (Provincial - 25 mm) 244 - 249CE Obv: Philip I & Otacilia Severa facing. Rev: Male figure standing left holding patera & scepter. M. Julius Philippus A native of Arabia, Philip I was appointed to the post of praetorian prefect by Goridan III. He brought about the deposition and murder of the young emperor. The chief event of his reign was the celebration, in 248 of the thousandth anniversary of the foundation of Rome. There was magnificent games with many wild beasts, most of which had been collected by Gordian for his Persian triumph. A series of coins was also struck to commemorate the event. The latter part of his reign was troubled by a number of pretenders, and in 249 he had to take to the field in person to deal with the rebellious legions of Decius. The two armies met near Verona and in the ensuing battle he was defeated and killed together with his son. These "Dual Busts" are hard to come by especially in this condition.
