Hi folks,

The altar on the reverse of Canaan's coin reminds me of an Spain, Emerita, Augustus coin (scroll down, sixth coin):

But Pekka is correct, as usual. It is Trajan. Even the legends are a match.

Once again Pekka nailed it perfectly!  The larger pictures showed my premature attribution to Claudius II was certainly wrong.
