<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 4607112, member: 83845&quot;]I love the coins of Trajan. In a lot of ways his reign marks the apex of the Roman era and it is fortunate that so many of his coins are specific to historical events. Here is my favorite such coin from my collection. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/trajan-the-best-emperor-and-the-mystery-of-the-river-god.318843/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/trajan-the-best-emperor-and-the-mystery-of-the-river-god.318843/"><font size="6"><b>Trajan: the Best Emperor and the Mystery of the River God</b></font></a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1141214[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3">Roman Empire</font></p><p><font size="3">Trajan (AD 98-117)</font></p><p><font size="3">AR Denarius, Rome mint, struck ca.
