Description: Roman Silver Denarius Coin. Trajan 98-117 AD silver coin. Trajan is remembered as a successful soldier-emperor who presided over the greatest military expansion in Roman history, leading the empire to attain its maximum territorial extent by the time of his death. The reverse has seated figure (the reverses had many variations with Goddess’s and personifications of Roman ideals being the most common). The front (observe) features a laureate bust. Very heavily worn condition. Additional Notes: The Denarius was the standard Roman silver coin from its introduction in the Second Punic War (circa 211 BC) to the reign of Gordian III (238–244 AD), when it was gradually replaced by the Antoninianus. It continued to be minted in very small quantities, likely for ceremonial purposes, until and through the Tetrarchy (293–313 AD). The word Denarius is derived from the Latin deni (containing ten), as its value was originally of 10 asses. The word for “money” descends from it in Italian (denaro), Slovene (denar), Portuguese (dinheiro), and Spanish (dinero). Its name also survives in the dinar currency.
