A worn silver Roman possible quinarius of Trajan (AD 98-117), probably dating to the period AD 114-117 (Reece period 5). Reverse type depicting Victory advancing right holding wreath and palm. Mint of Rome. This coin is possibly a quinarius with a broad flan rather than a denarius given the combination of bust type, legends, and weight. For similar quinarii cf. RIC II, p. 268, no. 351; Woytek (MIR 14, 2010) no. 522.
