Exactly when Trajan's elder sister Marciana died is in dispute: it could have been as early as 105 and as late as 114. In any case, in due course Trajan had her deified and struck coins in her honor, which are the first issue of Roman coinage to bear the soon to become familiar term CONSECRATIO. This piece is one of the finest examples of that coinage known.
