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 Trajan on one side and the goddess Roma on the other, reflects the imperial propaganda of the time, which aimed to promote the idea of the Roman Empire as a powerful and prosperous state under Trajan's leadership.
