Ancient Rome 116AD Trajan's Column S 3151 Trajan Silver Denarius Extra Fine (EF-40)
Born Marcus Ulpius Traianus on September 18, 53AD, Trajan ruled as Roman emperor from 98 to 117 AD, is widely regarded as one of the greatest emperors in Roman history. Born in Hispania, he was the first non-Italian to ascend to the imperial throne, and his reign marked the peak of Rome’s territorial expansion. A skilled military commander, Trajan led successful campaigns in Dacia (modern-day Romania), annexed Arabia Petraea, and launched ambitious—but ultimately unsustainable—campaigns into Parthia. Beyond military glory, he was celebrated for his just rule, public works, and deep concern for the welfare of his citizens. He initiated massive infrastructure projects, including Trajan’s Forum, Market, and the famous Trajan’s Column, commemorating his Dacian victories. Admired for his modesty, generosity, and strong leadership, the Senate honored him with the title Optimus Princeps ("the best ruler"), and later emperors were often blessed with the phrase "may you be luckier than Augustus and better than Trajan.".
Obverse: The laurate and draped bust of Trajan facing right, with the legend around.
Reverse: The column of Trajan topped with a statue of Trajan, with two eagles at the base and a wreath with spirals and dots on the column, legend around.
