Commentary
Pour W. E. Metcalf, ce type a été frappé entre 106 et 114 dans l’atelier de Bostra, capitale de la nouvelle province d’Arabie. Notre exemplaire semble inédit et non récensé avec ce type de buste pour l’an 18 (114).
For WE Metcalf, this type was struck between 106 and 114 in the workshop of Bostra, capital of the new province of Arabia. Our example seems unpublished and not listed with this type of bust for the year 18 (114)

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..
