AR Denarius (Rome AD 112, 3.28 g) - DIVA AVGVSTA MARCIANA Draped and diademed bust right, dotted border / CONSECRATIO Carpentum drawn by two mules left, decorated with bas reliefs (RIC (Trajan) 654 / RSC 10) - a.VF, very rare. Marciana was Trajan's elder sister, and from all accounts they were very close. After her husband died in AD 78, she and her daughter, Matidia, lived with Trajan and his wife, Plotina. She never remarried and continued to live with Trajan and Plotina until she died, probably in AD 112 or 114.
