<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2299547, member: 75525&quot;]I was impressed the size of the coin the first time I saw the movie. The movie mentions Julius Caesar and a Widow&#039;s Mite. I was pretty sure those were not right. I rented a copy of the movie from Netflix and took a picture from my tv. The picture was bad, but I could see Trajan was on the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I used John Jneck’s obverse legend search tool for TRAIANOAVG and found 9 potential fits. Number 2 looks most likely. I used a Trajan web site <a href="http://tjbuggey.ancients.info/Trajae.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://tjbuggey.ancients.info/Trajae.html" rel="nofollow">http://tjbuggey.ancients.info/Trajae.html</a> and found 12 RIC II number matches. I suspect a large number of the RIC #s between 459 and 564 have the same legend. I will settle for a sestertius of Trajan.</p><p><br /></p><p>TRAIANO AVG...AC PM TRP COS V PP</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.jhecoins.com/searchlegends.php?legend=TRAIANOAVG&amp;Submit=+Search" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.jhecoins.com/searchlegends.php?legend=TRAIANOAVG&amp;Submit=+Search" rel="nofollow">http://www.jhecoins.com/searchlegends.php?legend=TRAIANOAVG&amp;Submit=+Search</a>+</p><p><br /></p><p>Results for: TRAIANOAVG, best (only?) fit is #2.</p><p><br /></p><p>Emperor Trajan A.D. 98-117 Legends:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; IMPCAESNERVAETRAIANOAVGGERDACPMTRPCOSVIPP&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>2.&nbsp; IMPCAESNERVAETRAIANOAVGGERDACPMTRPCOSVPP</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; a.&nbsp; RIC II: 459, 489, 492, 497, 504, 519, 523, 527, 536, 549, 556, 564</p><p>3.&nbsp; IMPCAESTRAIANOAVGGERDACPART&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>4.&nbsp; IMPNERVAETRAIANOAVGDACPMTRPCOSVIPP&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>5.&nbsp; IMPTRAIANOAVGGERDACICOTRPCOSVPP&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>6.&nbsp; IMPTRAIANOAVGGERDACPMTRP&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>7.&nbsp; IMPTRAIANOAVGGERDACPMTRPCOSVDESVI&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>8.&nbsp; IMPTRAIANOAVGGERDACPMTRPCOSVIPP&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>9.
