Note: Trajan was a Roman Emperor who ruled from AD 98 to 117. He is remembered as one of the “Five Good Emperors” due to his successful military campaigns, administrative reforms, and extensive public building programs. Under his rule, the Roman Empire reached its maximum territorial extent. Trajan was known for his efforts to improve the welfare of his subjects and his fair administration. The obverse, depicting Trajan with a laurel wreath, emphasizes his victory and imperial honor. The reverse, featuring the winged caduceus, symbolizes commerce and peaceful trade, reflecting Trajan’s efforts to promote economic stability and prosperity in the provinces. This coin not only facilitated local economic transactions but also served to communicate and reinforce Trajan’s image and authority throughout the Roman Empire.
