| Reverse description | The personification of Felicitas, draped, stands facing left in a composed, hieratic pose. In her raised right hand she holds a caduceus upright, symbolising prosperity and divine favour, while her left hand grasps a cornucopiae, the attribute of abundance. A lighted altar appears to the left of the figure, adding a sacrificial and religious dimension to the reverse composition. The encircling legend dedicates the coin to Trajan as the best of princes in the name of the Senate and People of Rome. |
