Add to album
This silver coin was minted in Rome by the emperor Trajan in 101 or 102 AD. It is a type called a denarius, the most common Roman silver coin. This picture shows the reverse of the coin.
The reverse depicts the goddess Victory holding a wreath and palm. The legend 'PM TR P COS IIII P P' continues the list of Trajan's titles begun on the obverse.
Trajan was an accomplished military commander. During his reign, the frontiers of Rome were pushed to her farthest limits. This coin probably commemorates the victory in the first Dacian war.
