| Additional information |
The quinarius was already an anachronism by Trajan's reign — the denomination had effectively dropped out of regular circulation by the late first century, surviving only as a ceremonial or donative piece distributed at specific occasions. Issues this late are accordingly scarce, produced in limited numbers rather than struck for commerce.
RIC II 351 dates to the final years of Trajan's reign, overlapping with the Parthian campaign and the emperor's death at Selinus in 117 AD before he could return to Rome.
