PortraitsOfTrajan.jpg
Portraits of Trajan The potraits of Trajan according to Woytek.
A. 99-105
B. 105-107
C. 107-109
D. 109-117

Portrait A - Big, almost square head on broad neck. Truncation near straight, sometimes with two or three slight indentations.

Portrait B, C and D - All show Trajan with smaller, flatter head of oval shape, but differ in their bust truncation.

Potrait B and D - Downward extension of truncation at the front, as though showing part of emperor's chest. In D, however, there is less of an indentation separating this frontal extension from the back of the truncation. In type D, one of the emperor's wreath ties often turns inward and overlaps with the back of the neck, wheras in type B both wreath ties usually curve away from the neck.

Portrait C has normal truncation without the frontal extension, usually with two slight indentations, as in type A but combined with the new smaller, oval head of the emperor.

Because of the similarity of type A to type C and of type B to type D, previous researchers have often confused them, but as Woytek demonstrates, there can be no doubt about their definition and sequence.

Sources: Woytek's Die Reichsprägung Des Kaisers Traianus and Curtis Clay's review of aforementioned book.

From http://www.csun.edu/~hcfll004/fides.html:

"FIDES" is often (and wrongly) translated 'faith', but it has nothing to do with the word as used by Christians writing in Latin about the Christian virute (St. Paul Letter to the Corinthians, chapter 13). For the Romans, FIDES was an essential element in the character of a man of public affairs, and a necessary constituent element of all social and political transactions (perhaps = 'good faith'). FIDES meant 'reliablilty', a sense of trust between two parties if a relationship between them was to exist. FIDES was always reciprocal and mutual, and implied both privileges and responsibilities on both sides. In both public and private life the violation of FIDES was considered a serious matter, with both legal and religious consequences. FIDES, in fact, was one of the first of the 'virtues' to be considered an actual divinity at Rome. The Romans had a saying, "Punica fides" (the reliability of a Carthaginian) which for them represented the highest degree of treachery: the word of a Carthaginian (like Hannibal) was not to be trusted, nor could a Carthaginian be relied on to maintain his political elationships.

These coins were minted not long after the death of Trajan and I seem to remember reading that there was some suspicion that Plotina had some part in making Hadrian successor. The succession was always a predicament inside the framework of the principate, because it remained important to keep up the appearance of a Res Publica, a republic. In reality it was an autocracy.
