History: Trajan declared war against the Parthians, after overrunning Syria, Mesopotamia and Armenia, he defeated in every encounter, establishing several governments, and thereby gaining from the Roman Senate the title of Parthicus.
This coin is worn enough, even the legends are disappeared, too, but shows the result about one of the most impotant Roman conquest.
