This striking medallion pays tribute to Emperor Trajan Decius, who ruled the Roman Empire from 249 to 251 AD. The obverse features a highly detailed portrait of the emperor wearing a radiate crown and military attire, surrounded by the inscription "IMP C M Q TRAIANVS DECIVS AVG". Known for his attempt to restore traditional Roman values, Decius is historically significant for initiating one of the earliest empire-wide persecutions of Christians. His coinage often reflects this emphasis on Roman virtues, piety, and military strength, capturing the ideological spirit of his short but impactful reign.
On the reverse, the figure of Felicitas, the Roman goddess of good fortune and prosperity, is prominently depicted holding a caduceus and cornucopia—symbols of peace and abundance. The surrounding legend "FELICITAS SAECVLI" translates to “Happiness of the Age,” a common propagandistic motif used by emperors to promote a vision of stability and divine favor. This piece is a modern reproduction, carefully modeled after original Roman coinage to preserve the visual language and iconography of the third-century Roman Empire, making it a valuable item for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
