The Denarius - Trajan coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Trajan, who ruled the Roman Empire from 98 to 117 AD. It features an image of the goddess Providentia on the reverse side, which symbolizes the Roman Empire's prosperity and good fortune during Trajan's rule. The coin's design was meant to promote the idea that Trajan's leadership was divinely ordained and that he was a just and wise ruler.
