live trophies are great too ^^

 

Trajan had a variety on this general theme.

 

Yeah you know if it isn't one thing in life that seems to take up all my time I find another. But this time it's something I asked for.

 

outstanding coins Doug!

 

Nice one Greg!

And, HEY! You made me remember I HAD that one, also!

Lost coin in my mind:


RI Trajan AR Denarius 98-117 CE Trophy over Dacian Captive RIC II 222

(My Trajan only captured ONE guy...)

 

..ones better than none... (haha...lost coin in my mind)

 

Another fun coin with a bad @$$ reverse!
You can always tell it is Trajan cause of the long head and thousands letter description. Trajan, We get it already. You're a great ruler. Go build a column about it or something...


Trajan

Very nice addition to your collection ominus1. It's really nice. I dont have one with a Dacian trophy, but i have one with a captive.
There seem to exist quite some variants of the DACCAP reverse, with depicting dacian captives, or dacia herself. The one with Pax holding her foot on a Dacian captive has quite a stronge image. Don't have that one, but would like to one day.

 

thanks..that's a very fine coin there you have.

 

I have been coin collecting since childhood, and have been trying to locate information about one of the coins I have, without luck, for a very long time. I am looking for information on where to go to find info about the "captive" coin described above, as this is the one I have, and do not have any idea where to turn to obtain info. Would anyone be able to assist me?

 

I have one of the Denarii of Trajan with the trophy RIC 147 Woytek 268b 107-108 A.D. 3.65 grms As well as one of the Dacian captive types RIC 98 var aegis on far shoulder Woytek 283c 108-109 A.D. 3.62 grms

 

Here is a similar coin for Marcus Aurelius.
Ex: Stoecklin collection

 

A little rough and worn on the obverse but here's mine:

 

And this is my Trajan.

Here is my sestertius of Trajan..... Victory erecting trophy..
