Æ 21 - Trajan ΚΛΑΥΔΙΕωΝ ΤωΝ ΚΑΙ ΛΕΥΚΑΔΙωΝ, ΕΝ

Claudia Leucas was a small city in the Euphrates region whose civic coinage under Trajan reflects the brief window during which the emperor's eastern campaigns made such minor mints politically relevant. The city held the honorific double name — Claudia from its refoundation under Claudius, Leucas from the original settlement — and both names appear in the legend as a assertion of that layered civic identity. Trajan's Dacian Wars (101–102 and 105–106) bracket the likely production of this issue, though the eastern mint's output was modest and survival rates are low.
