Struck in the years immediately before Trajan's Parthian campaign, this issue belongs to a concentrated burst of senatorial bronze coinage produced at Rome during a period of aggressive imperial self-promotion. The FELICITAS types appear across multiple denominations in this window, reflecting a deliberate program connecting Trajan's military and civic achievements to divine favor — itself tied to the anticipated eastern war rather than any specific concluded victory.
RIC II 626 is attributed to the later phase of this group, placing it squarely in the run-up to 114 AD when preparations for Parthia were consuming Roman administrative attention.
