Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Plotina (COS III PATER PATRIAE) (98-117) coin is that it features a portrait of Plotina, the wife of Emperor Trajan, on the obverse (front side), which was a rare occurrence for Roman coins at the time, as women were not typically depicted on coins. This suggests that Plotina held a significant amount of power and influence during her husband's reign.
