Roman Imperial. Trajan (98-117). AV Aureus, struck 117. Rome. 7.17 gms. IMP CAES NER TRAIAN OPTIM AVG GERM DAC. Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind, rev. PARTHICO PM TRP COS VI PP SPQR, Radiate and draped bust of Sol right. RIC 329, BMCRE 622, Calicó 1038, Cohen 187. This coin was issued shortly after Trajan's defeat of the Parthian army, his retaking and burning of Seleucia and his deposing of the Parthian king Osroes I in 116. The reverse both celebrates this and acknowledges the Roman military's popular Mithraic cult through the depiction of the Persian sun god Mithras (Sol). The success of Trajan's Parthian War, though, would prove short-lived as a result of widespread rebellions and Trajan's death in 117. NGC XF ex-jewelry (on edge). Soft amber highlights. Extremely Fine.
