<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3012590, member: 75937&quot;]Welcome, [USER=93702]@Clavdivs[/USER] ! That is a lovely denarius! Frank is a great coin dealer and his auctions usually have something for any collector, no matter the budget. His photos, however, usually don&#039;t do the coins justice. I&#039;m quite sure your coin is even lovelier in hand than in Frank&#039;s photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can&#039;t go wrong with Trajan! He&#039;s an important historical figure and his coinage is plentiful but varied. One could spend a lifetime specializing in his imperial denarii alone. I particularly like the Mars types on his denarii. I fell in love with this one and had to make it mine. It is the same coin as yours, so the catalog numbers I cite are those you can use, too:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]747339[/ATTACH]</p><p>Trajan, AD 98-117</p><p>Roman AR denarius; 2.92 gm, 20.1 mm, 7 h</p><p>Rome, AD 114-117</p><p>Obv: IMP CAES NER TRAIANO OPTIMO AVG GER DAC, laureate and draped bust, right</p><p>Rev: P M TR P COS VI P P S P Q R, Mars walking right with spear and trophy</p><p>Refs: RIC 337; BMCRE 536; Cohen 270; RCV --; Woytek 520v; Strack 230; BN 819.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
