| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES NERVAE TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS V P P (Translation: Imperator, Caesar, Nervae Traiano Augustus, Germanicus, Dacicus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestate, Consul Quintum, Pater Patriae. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, of Nerva Trajan, emperor (Augustus), conqueror of the Germans, conqueror of the Dacians, high priest, holder of tribunician power, consul for the fifth time, father of the nation.) |
| Reverse description | The goddess Roma, helmeted and clad in full military dress, is depicted seated left upon a cuirass. In her extended right hand she holds a small figure of Victory, while her left hand grasps a vertical spear. Her left foot rests upon the head of a defeated Dacian captive and her right foot upon a helmet, symbolising Roman triumph over Dacia. Three shields are arranged beside the cuirass in the field. The composition is a hallmark of Trajanic sestertii celebrating the Dacian campaigns, with the senatorial authorisation S C prominently placed in the legend. |
