| Aanvullende informatie |
The ΑΡΜΕ exergue inscription references Armenia, tying this issue directly to Trajan's eastern campaigns — specifically the annexation of Armenia as a Roman province in 114 AD, one of the most aggressive territorial expansions in imperial history. The Koinon of Bithynia, a league of provincial cities granted the right to issue bronze coinage in the emperor's honor, produced pieces like this one as deliberate expressions of loyalty at a moment when Trajan's military prestige was at its peak. The Nike reverse legend reinforces that message explicitly.
