Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
The Denarius coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Trajan, who ruled the Roman Empire from 98 to 117 AD. It's interesting to note that Trajan was known for his extensive military campaigns, which led to the expansion of the Roman Empire to its greatest extent. The coin's design, which features an image of the goddess Flora, suggests that it may have been issued to commemorate Trajan's military victories and the prosperity of the Roman Empire during his reign.
