Rx: PORT - VM TRAIANI around, S C in exergue, aerial view of Trajan\'s hexagonal harbor at Ostia, with entrance at bottom, buildings and colonnades surrounding the harbor, and three ships with furled sails anchored within.This octagonal inner basin was added by Trajan to the larger main harbor of Ostia in order to provide safer anchorage during windstorms. Our sestertius showing the inner harbor is one of only about 30 examples of this coin that exist. It has a lovely green patina and is completely untouched. Most of the sestertii of this issue are extremely worn, but this coin is in flawless condition and is by far the finest known. MS
