<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Codera, post: 26207562, member: 70631&quot;]I appropriately completed my Twelve Caesars set with a coin that shows a reverse of Victory celebrating! This of course is one of the Judaea Capta coins from Vespasian and it&#039;s quite a stunner.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1673551[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Vespasian</b>, Denarius, Victory reverse, Judaea Capta Series!</p><p><br /></p><p>AR; 18mm/3.4gm, Rome Mint - Struck ca. 72-73 AD</p><p><br /></p><p>Con/ A few specks of die rust, <i>otherwise</i>, good Very Fine; outstanding portrait of the emperor and a crisp image of Victory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv/ IMP CAES VESP AVG PM COS IIII; laureate head right</p><p><br /></p><p>Rev/ VICTORIA AVGVSTI; Victory advancing r., holding palm and about to place wreath on standard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ref/ RIC Vol II, 362</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller&#039;s Note/ This denarius is just one of the magnificent &quot;Judaea Capta” series struck to commemorate Rome&#039;s utterly crushing victory over the revolting Jewish forces c. 70 AD. The plural &quot;Augusti&quot; in the reverse legend refers to Vespasian and his two sons, Titus and Domitian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
