<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2074262, member: 19463"]I have to disagree with one letter here. The reverse "IC" is "IE". AllE's on the coin are rounded forms. This one is a Greek numeral for 5 added to the I=10 next to it to give the regnal year 15 which also is what we would see on a Roman coin as TR P XV. DHMAPC EX spells out the Greek words for the title. Following that 15 is YpiAT or Consul followed by another E telling us that Trajan had been Consul five times when the coin was made. Since these titles did not always start on January 1, we will see such a coin dated as 110-111 AD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
