| 裏面の説明 | Three military standards arranged side by side in the field: a legionary eagle (aquila) mounted on a pole at centre, flanked by two signa militaria, each decorated with a series of phalerae (disc ornaments) and a crescent-shaped lunula near the top. The standards are rendered in bold relief and occupy nearly the full height of the reverse field. The senatorial legend S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI appears in the surrounding field, with the senatorial authorization mark S C divided across the lower field. The overall composition is symmetrical and deliberately evocative of Roman military glory. |

Trajan's use of OPTIMO PRINCIPI — "best of princes" — was not formulaic flattery. The Senate formally voted him that title in 114 AD, though it began appearing on coinage well before the official decree, a rare instance of the mint anticipating senatorial action rather than commemorating it. The abbreviation S P Q R preceding the title was itself a pointed constitutional gesture, framing imperial authority as a delegation from senate and people rather than a personal possession.
RIC II 588 falls within a heavily produced series across Trajan's Dacian war years, when military expenditure drove sustained mint output at Rome.
