[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 26417514, member: 87809"]This is one of the first denarii I was trying to attribute. I thought that Victory is holding in her left hand a palm branch, but now I think that maybe it is not a palm branch but a trophy. I attributed it as RIC II Trajan 60, however, on all the specimens at numismatic.org for RIC II Trajan 60 he has drapery on his left shoulder, which mine doesn't have. This is the denarius with the description I am questioning myself now: AR Denarius, Rome 101 - 102 AD 19 mm, 2.611 g Obv.: IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG GERM Bust of Trajan, laureate, to r. Rev.: P M TR P COS IIII P P Victoria advancing to l., holding wreath in r. hand and palm sloping upwards to r. , in l. [ATTACH=full]1685470[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1685471[/ATTACH] Does this look like a palm branch to you?:confused:[/QUOTE]
