Silver denarius of Trajan, struck c. AD 112-114 commemorating the Via Traiana.
The Via Traiana was constructed in AD 109 at the emperor’s personal expense as an extension of the Via Appia, which resulted in a faster and smoother journey between Beneventum and Brundisium.
The Via Traiana is personified on the reverse, reclining on a rock, holding a wheel and branch.
A nice coin with an intriguing historical reference.
Very Fine.
