Trajan. AD 98-117. AR Denarius (19mm, 3.00 g, 7h). Rome mint. Struck winter AD 114-spring 115. Laureate and draped bust right / Trajan's Column: column surmounted by statue of Trajan standing left, holding patera and scepter, and set on podium decorated with two eagles. RIC II 356; Woytek 514v; RSC 284; cf. Elkins, Monuments Figure 121 (for rev. type). Toned, minor marks. Near VF.

Trajan's Column was the crowning glory of the Forum Traiani, built with the spoils of the Dacian Wars. Covered by a continuous frieze of the war's events, the column was capped with a gilded heroic statue of the emperor, while an inscription on the base recounted the feat of engineering in the forum's construction. After Trajan's death, the column became the repository of his ashes.
