I bought a Trajan Dacia Capta denarius because it kind of fits in with my Judaea Capta coins. The Trajan has DAC CAP in the exergue on the reverse. The reverse image has the same theme as the reverse image in the coin of the OP. I have done the Flavians and next I want to start on the "five good emperors" so that's where the Trajan fits in. Does anyone have a Nerva Fiscus Judaicus?
Right now my coins are in my safe deposit box in anticipation of my upcoming overseas trip. But my photographic and computer skills are sorely lacking any way.

I love your coins. Each one is special but I can't decide which I like best, the top one or the bottom one. How do you describe the three reverse images, please?
=> Hi Arturo => sorry, I didn't read your post until just now ... I updated my previous post, so now it has all of the information, my coin friend Cheers
At first I thought it was a rhino, but then I changed my mind and decided it was a boar. That does it, I definitely vote the top coin as my favorite!
