Trajan AR Denarius. Restoration issue of Julius Caesar. Rome, AD 105. IMP CAES TRAIAN AV[G GER DAC] P P REST bull-calf standing to left; Q VOCONIVS above, VITVLVS below / DIVI IVLI, wreathed head of Julius Caesar to right, lituus behind. UBS 78, 1218 (same dies); otherwise unpublished. 2.93g, 19mm, 5h.

Good Very Fine; deep cabinet tone. Exceedingly Rare; perhaps only the second known example of the type.

From a private UK collection.

Bearing the obverse legend common to all of Trajan's Restoration issues, this type is based on the coins of Q. Voconius Vitulus (quaestor circa 40 BC; Crawford 526/2) and fits easily alongside the other known issues of this series.
