Commentary
Rubans de type 3. Portrait massif du début du règne. Buste exceptionnel avec pan de paludamentum sur l’épaule ce qui semble très rare dans les premières émissions du règne. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type de buste pour le début du règne. Semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Type 3 ribbons. Massive portrait from the beginning of the reign. Exceptional bust with a panel of paludamentum on the shoulder, which seems very rare in the first issues of the reign. This is the first time we have offered this type of bust for the beginning of the reign. Seems rarer than general works suggest.

Historical background
TRAJANUS
(27/10/97-8/08/117)
Augustus
Trajan was born on September 18, 53 in Italica, near Seville in Spain, like his pupil Hadrian. He belongs to a family of settlers settled in Spain. After a brilliant military career under the Flavians, he was consul in 91 and legate of Germania Superior when he was adopted by Nerva in 97 to succeed him. After the death of the latter, he becomes august. His reign will be devoted to numerous military campaigns against the Germans on the Rhine limes, which earned him the title of Germanicus. Then, he led two Dacian wars against Decebalus which ended with the annexation of Dacia. Trajan prepares a campaign against the Parthians, the turbulent and powerful neighbors to the east. He left Rome for the East and established his headquarters in Antioch before invading the Parthian kingdom. He will go as far as Ctesiphon (Seleucia on the Tigris). When he died on August 8, 117, the Empire was at its peak and experienced its greatest territorial expansion..
