    With the two Vespasian Judea Capta denarii played in CIT Round 1 by @Dafydd and @zumbly, I guess I was kind of "tuned in" to these types and that it was used by a few of the emperor's. I ended up coming across this well-used AE Judea Capta type from Domitian at decent price, so snatched it up.

    I'd love to see your other non-traditional Judea Capta types! And the traditional ones are obviously ok here too.

    Unfortunately, I only have the typical type:

    Silver denarius, RIC II, 2.8g, Rome mint, 69 - 70 A.D.; obverse IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG, laureate head right; reverse IVDAEA, Jewess seated right, mourning, veiled, supporting chin with left hand, trophy of captured arms behind her.

    I'll take a different approach to this. Here is a Domitian Germania Capta type which strongly echoes his father's Judaea Capta denarius.

    AR Denarius, 3.20g
    Rome mint, 85 AD
    RIC 331 (R2). BMC 82. RSC 181.
    Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P IIII; Bust of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r., with aegis
    Rev: IMP VIIII COS XI CENS POTES P P; Germania seated r. on shield; below, broken spear
    Ex Roma Auction V, 23 March 2013, lot 728.

    Well-used but still lovely. Neat pickup! I’d like one of these too someday.

    What a superb looking coin and Germania certainly has the "woe is me" look about her!

    Here's mine. With a certain gummy "patina" that is the trademark of a recognizable VCoins dealer. Oh well. I still like the coin, and I'm wiser about fake patinas.

    And here's my Vespasian denarius. Thankfully, no fake patina. ;-)
