Trajan's sixth consulship, held from 112 AD until his death in 117, coincided with the peak of Roman imperial expansion — the annexation of Armenia and Mesopotamia, territories never previously absorbed into the empire and never successfully held by his successors. The Genius type belongs to a densely populated series issued across these final years, likely struck at Rome during the Parthian campaign period when the emperor himself was absent from the city for extended stretches.
Trajan died at Selinus in Cilicia before returning from the east, making the latest issues of this consulship posthumous candidates under Hadrian's brief continuation of Trajanic types.
