Two birthdays today: one for me and one for Trajan's reign

Yup, I became another year older today! Today is also the day Trajan became Roman emperor back in 98 AD (I'll bet some of you remember that day jk). Please post any and all Trajan coins you have!

(Before you grab your pitchforks and torches this one has since been liberated from its holder )

Happy birthday!

 

Thanks @Ajax !

 

Happy birthday ValiantKnight, Your right also Trajan deserves recognition with his great contribution to the Roman empire. Probably one of his greatest achievements was his column. I have a Sestertius and denarius.

 

You must be referring to Doug!

Happy birthday VK.

 

Happy birthday @ValiantKnight ! Another year towards Codger-dom.

Bummer, I was hoping we could break out the pitchforks and torches, just to have some fun!




Of course when a Legion shows up with their Torches and Standards...
hell DOES break loose...

RI Trajan AR Denarius 98-117 CE 3 Standards

 

Oh all right. Just stay away from anything flammable. I don't want my party to end up like last year:



Thanks all for the comments+likes! And great coins!

 

Happy Birthday, ValiantKnight!

No Trajan here, though.

Happy Birthday !

Here is my only Trajan. It is also my only provincial coin.

 

Happy Birthday VK! Nice Trajan too!

 

Happy Birthday. Don't have any Trajan coins though.

 

Happy Birthday VK!!

that isn't a new coin to you is it? the rules state that you have to buy a new coin for your birthday!

i only have one trajan, and it's a pretty poor. a nice trajan is on my hit list for 2017.

 

Happy Birthday, VK! Sis felicior Augusto, melior Traiano!

 

I didn't have pictures earlier but this is my only Trajan. Pax seated left I think

It's not in good shape but for $.99 I can't complain
