Commentary


Poids léger. Rubans de type 3. Petit pan de paludamentum visible des deux côtés du cou. Ce type de quadrans a été frappé en deux occasions bien différentes : en 107, pour le donativum commémorant la fin des guerres daciques et en 115 à l’occasion des vicennalia (vingtième anniversaire de règne). Notre quadrans a plutôt été frappé en 107.
Lightweight. Type 3 ribbons. Small patch of paludamentum visible on both sides of the neck. This type of quadrans was struck on two very different occasions: in 107, for the donativum commemorating the end of the Dacic wars and in 115 on the occasion of the vicennalia (twentieth anniversary of reign). Our quadrans were rather hit in 107

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..
