Ot. anc. 1922, 303-305, but seems to him as unsatisfactory as other previous suggestions. It is also figured on several coins of Trajan after 113 (Cohen, Traian 115, 284, 359, 555-6). As Lehmann-Hartleben points out, the earlier coins (Cohen, ib. 357, which is earlier than iio; in ib. 358 the type survived till 115) show a bird, probably an eagle, on the top of the column, which, when first projected, was not intended to serve as Trajan's tomb, though the change of object had come before its erection had actually begun.

These dedications date from 115 A.D., but the mint was probably established here considerably earlier, though not before the time of Vespasian, when the domus aurea, which must have included this site, was abolished (HJ 303; LS iii. 152).
