Trajan. AD 98-117. AR Denarius (19mm, 2.55 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck circa AD 116-117. Laureate and draped bust right / Fortuna seated left, holding rudder and cornucopia. RIC II 315; Woytek 579v; RSC 150a. Bright surfaces. Good VF. Struck on a broad flan.


Though this denarius was struck in anticipation of Trajan’s “fortunate return” to Rome from his eastern campaign, in fact the emperor never made it back to the capital, dying in Cilicia in August of AD 117.
