VESPASIAN, (A.D. 69-79), silver denarius, Rome mint, issue of A.D. 69-70, (2.895grams), obv. [I]MP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AV[G], laureate head to right, rev. IVDAEA in exergue, Judaea seated to right weeping at foot of trophy, (S.777, RIC 15, Brin 16, BMC 37, RSC 226, H.759 [198]). Very fine/nearly very fine and very scarce.

The Judaea Capta issue is a Roman coin, created to commemorate and propagandise the Roman victory of the Jewish War. In addition, it was designed to re-establish political stability following the events of 68-69. The type was, no doubt, intended to help secure the newly founded Flavian dynasty.
