After looking for a while I've finally found a nice Trajan denarius for my slowly growing collection... Trajan / Denarius / Aequitas reverse Attribution: RIC 118 (RIC II) Date Minted: 107-111 AD Obverse: Laureate bust right, drapery on left shoulder Reverse: Aequitas standing with scales and cornucopia ...let's see everyone elses.
That coin is in beautiful condition, nice find. Maybe there's one hidden in the uncleaned Roman lot I just purchased
outstanding Trajan, great typical portrait of that emperor...I have yet to fill that slot yet in my collection but one like that would fit just fine
Brian, That's just about the nicest Trajan I've ever seen.You're going to end up having quite a remarkable collection. It has mine beat hands down except for one small thing,mine has a cool little camel on the reverse. Just kidding...keep it up. EDIT:I just realized that the inscriptions on our coins are identical on both sides...interesting
This one commemorates the Roman invasion and conquest of Parthia (Iraq) in 116 AD. IMP CAES NER TRAIANO OPTIM AVG GER DAC Laureate bust right, slight drapery on far shoulder PARTHICO P M TR P COS VI P P SPQR Mars advancing right with trophy & spear RIC 331
Denarius of Trajan Very Nice! I stopped at the Tucson International Show last weekend with the hopes of finding a nice example with a different reverse but I had no luck.
