Roman Empire – Trajan (AD 98–117)
29.99 CHF
As, bronze, Rome mint Description: Obverse with a heavily worn portrait of Trajan facing right; only the emperor’s name Traianus remains legible. Reverse completely worn and without identifiable type or legend. Despite the strong wear, the coin can be securely identified as an As based on its diameter and weight. Historical context: Trajan is regarded as one of the greatest Roman emperors, under whom the Empire reached its maximum territorial extent. Ases were everyday bronze coins that circulated extensively, which explains the severe wear often encountered on surviving examples. Such pieces illustrate the long and intensive use of small bronze denominations in Roman daily life.
