| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Salus facing left in the centre of the field, draped and helmeted, holding a sceptre or rudder in her left hand and extending her right hand forward over a lighted altar or globe upon which she rests her foot. A globe is visible at her feet, symbolising universal dominion and the salvation of mankind. The reverse legend SALVS GENERIS HVMANI is disposed around the periphery in bold Latin capitals. The composition is rendered in the authoritative, classicising style of the Rome mint under Trajan, with the exergue line clearly demarcating the ground. |

Struck during the height of Trajan's Dacian wars, this aureus belongs to a period when the Roman mint was processing enormous quantities of Dacian gold captured after the fall of Sarmizegetusa in 106 AD. The influx was substantial enough that Trajan financed both a massive building program in Rome and a sustained elevated aureus output — the gold came directly from Dacian royal reserves and mine seizures in Transylvania.
RIC II 148B falls within a tightly dated emission group running across the Dacian war and consolidation phases. The SALVS GENERIS HVMANI type is one of several ideological issues from this period asserting Trajan's role as benefactor of the human race — a claim his column and forum were simultaneously making in stone.
