<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 2544616, member: 8959&quot;]Very nice coins, Ancient Aussie, and thank you for posting them. </p><p>The Vespasian Victoria Avgvst seems to be quite a scarce issue. It has a very nice patina.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you say, even if most of the campaign in Judaea was fought on land, the Titus Victoria Navalis is probably related to the Wars in Judaea, Specifically naval action on the Sea of Galilee. I guess we will never know for sure, but this does seems plausible.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have an example of the Titus Victoria Navalis As in my collection as well. </p><p>I bought this coin many years ago when the Berlin wall came down. I remember that event seemed to unleash a flood of coins into the market in the west.</p><p>I wish I had had more funds back then! There were some incredible coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have not attributed this coin properly yet. This is as far as I have it now and is tentative.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help is appreciated!</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Titus.</b> As Caesar, AD 69-79. Æ As. Rome mint. Struck under Vespasian, AD 72? </p><p>Obv: T CAESAR VESPASIAN IMP PONT TRP(O...???) Laureate head right. </p><p>Rev: VICTORIA NAVALIS, Victory standing right on prow of galley, holding palm frond and wreath. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]545786[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]545787[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
