Octavius Posted October 16, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2022 Just added this sestertius of Trajan and the bridge over the Danube about a couple of weeks ago. Kind of looks like "a bridge over troubled waters" to me. 9 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulla80 Posted October 16, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) "Trajan and the bridge over the Danube" is a hard post to follow, so is the presentation of @LONGINUS - here's my mottled Trajan Sestertius. Trajan, 98-117 AD, Æ Sestertius, struck circa 106-111 AD. Obv: Laureate head right, drapery on left shoulder with aegis Rev: Ceres, holding wheat ears and torch, standing over modius Ref: RIC II 480 var.

Luke, you must have been on the hunt a long time to snag these 4 gems. The last denarius with Trajan in the slow victory quadriga is my favorite ☺️. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benefactor DonnaML Posted October 18, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) I've been preoccupied with other things lately and haven't been visiting much, let alone posting anything, but here are some Trajans -- without descriptions, and in no particular order whatsoever. I'm sure you can all figure out what they're supposed to represent! Finally, as a bonus, although I'm still not convinced as to which one is Trajan and which one is Hadrian: Edited October 18, 2022 by DonnaML 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPK Posted October 18, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 18, 2022 Such nice coins @DonnaML. That Trajan's Column is the finest I've ever seen, and I love the Alexandrian bronze with the elephants! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
