<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus Maximus, post: 3592741, member: 102867&quot;]I had been looking for this Sestertius for a while. The type is not really rare but still hard to find for a reasonable price. I already had this coin on my vcoins wish list and decided that this example is good enough for me. In my eyes it is one of Trajan&#039;s most intriguing Sestertii. Especially considering that the conquest of Dacia has had major consequences for Trajan, the empire and the Dacians.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/258/S/6/sw5MYkd7yW4oS3tH9poJKBd86ibERA.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Trajan 98-117</p><p>IMP CAES NERVAE TRAIANO AVG GER DAC PM TR P COS V PP,</p><p>laureate head right, slight drapery on left shoulder</p><p><br /></p><p>SPQR OPTIMO PRINCIPI, S-C across fields,</p><p>Dacia seated left on a pile of arms, trophy to left,</p><p>oval and angular shields around her.</p><p><br /></p><p>AE Sestertius</p><p>Struck 104-107</p><p>22,15g/ 32mm</p><p>Ric 564</p><p>Ex Marti Classical Numismatics</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] wrote a great piece about the Dacian wars.
