Rather than this being a coin celebrating military exploits, it celebrates Trajan's public works projects. The most profound of these being Trajan's forum. In the center of the forum was this statue of Trajan on horseback. In addition to the link provided above, the following link will take you to a virtual tour of the forum as it appeared in the days of Hadrian.		     45 RIC II 291; RSC 497a

The four FORTUNA REDUX coins above were minted to wish Trajan good fortune on his expedition to Parthia. For that part the blessing worked well as Trajan's army swept into Mesopotamia and captured the Parthian capital. However, good fortune stopped there as Trajan was diverted by rebellions in Judaea, Cyprus, and Mesopatamia, and Egypt. Although he suppressed all of these, he fell ill and never made it back to Rome.
The images on the coins are similar. The major difference being in the inscriptions.		     2 RIC II 320 (Listed as with aegis on left shoulder. Clearly drapery here)
