Trajan's Victory sestertii of this period commemorate the Dacian Wars — two brutal campaigns concluded by 106 AD that annihilated the Dacian kingdom under Decebalus and brought Rome its last major territorial expansion. The title OPTIMO PRINCIPI, meaning "best ruler," was formally voted to Trajan by the Senate in 114 AD, though it appears on coinage well before that date, suggesting the mint was using it as honorific shorthand ahead of official ratification.
The Dacian gold and silver seized at Sarmizegetusa funded an extraordinary building program in Rome, including Trajan's Forum and Column — both begun around 107 AD.
