| Beschrijving keerzijde | The god Mars, helmeted and nude save for a military cloak (paludamentum) draped around his shoulders and billowing behind, strides vigorously to the right in a dynamic martial pose. In his right hand he carries a transverse spear held diagonally, while his left hand supports a trophy (tropaeum) resting over his left shoulder, symbolising Roman military supremacy. The composition conveys Trajanic propaganda linking the emperor's conquests to divine martial favour. The reverse legend is disposed around the field in the standard arrangement for this emission. The overall style reflects the accomplished die-engraving of the Rome mint during Trajan's final years. |

Struck in the final years of Trajan's reign, this issue dates to a period when Rome was absorbing the newly conquered province of Dacia and pushing deep into Parthian territory — campaigns that would prove to be the farthest eastern extent of Roman imperial expansion. The sixth consulship designation places production firmly within those last ambitious years before Trajan's death at Selinus in 117 AD.
RIC II 338 is a well-documented type with no exceptional rarity, but coins from this narrow window carry the distinction of being among the last issues authorized by the man who, by Gibbon's assessment, presided over Rome at its greatest territorial peak.
