Trajan ruled Rome at the largest extant of its empire. This denarius was minted towards the end of his reign and life, sometime in 116 during the conquests of Parthia.

Although I generally don't condone the collecting of coins that celebrate victories against Parthia, I have to admit: this is a stunner. Great pickup! Congrats.
