A handsome example of this interesting and fascinating issue. Good VF. Ex NAC 100, 2017, 1862. Marcus Ulpius Trajanus is widely hailed as one of the greatest of all Roman emperors. His 19-year reign was marked by military exploits that pushed the Roman Empire to its greatest extent, by judicious good government that extended a helping hand to the lowest classes of society, and by friendly relations with the Senate which healed the breach caused by Domitian's tyranny and set the tone for the next three reigns. Indeed, the perception of the second century AD as a second Roman Golden Age (after the reign of Augustus) owes a great deal to the personal qualities and foresight of Trajan himself. This stunning gold aureus, struck during Trajan's Parthian campaign in AD 116, depicts the emperor wearing the armor of a general. The reverse, depicting a fine bust Sol, celebrates the conquest of Parthia and infers that the 'Eastern' god of the sun has plainly sided with the Romans in this conflict. (Heritage 3033,2014,23078).

Very light graffiti or cleaning marks on reverse and some dark deposits on legends. Good VF. This dynastic denarius depicting Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius illustrates the adoptive system of succession employed by emperors from Hadrian through Antoninus Pius as a means of ensuring a smooth transition of power to individuals prepared for rule. Dynastic succession through bloodlines tended to provide inexperienced leadership and could lead to civil war. While the system worked well for the so-called Adoptive Emperors, it should be noted that Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, and Antoninus Pius all lacked sons that survived into adulthood, so the principle that adoption of the 'best man' should prevail over blood descent was never truly tested. In any case, it fell apart under Marcus Aurelius when he left the empire to his own son, the unstable Commodus. Diocletian (AD 284-305) took another stab at setting up a system of imperial succession absent blood descent, but it, too, broke down when two of his chosen colleagues favored their own natural sons. (Heritage 3012, 2011, 24695 note).
