Trajan was a beloved emperor that excelled in the civic side of governing. He exceeded in projecting a persona of paternalism and an understanding of the importance of public works. Trajan understood the art of propaganda, both in the city of Rome itself and throughout the Empire. However, Trajan was a warrior first and foremost. During his reign, the Empire expanded out to its largest size, both before his time and after. His conquests of Dacia, in AD 102-105, were monumentalized on the spiral reliefs of Trajan's Column and are alluded to on this spectacular denarius. The arduous conquest brought an enormous windfall of plundered loot entered the Roman economy. This increase of wealth paid for the construction of his enormous new Forum. In this new Forum, the Column of Trajan was erected, in order to display his numerous victories abroad, and as a resting place for his body after death, within the base structure.
