[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 4505500, member: 111387"]Something worthy of note... Accolades were bestowed upon emperors for successful campaigns. Hence the GER stands for 'kicked some German butt', the DAC stands for 'kicked some Dacian butt' and the PARTHICO stands for 'kicked some Parthian butt'. This (in addition to other bestowed titles referenced in legends) can help in narrowing the time-frame that a coin was minted. For example, Trajan engaged the Parthians after A.D. 114, hence that is how your coin can be dated to the window between then and Trajan's death. EDIT: Shoots.. I've got to be quick on the draw around here. [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER] already beat me to the punch.[/QUOTE]
