<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 8165790, member: 97383&quot;]T.C., Nice score on the Judaea Capta denarius <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! The finely engraved reverse is the much scarcer type with the soldier in the left field. The Dr. Jay M. Galst provenance is a nice plus for the coin too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Last year I scored an interesting &amp; rare bronze coin from the Galst collection pictured below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1425778[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Judaea - Neapolis, Macrinus, AD 217-218. AE 17.87 gm, 29 mm, 12 h. The reverse depicts the Temple of Zeus atop of Mt. Gerizim &amp; a sacrificial altar to the right atop of Mt. Elba. There is a cannonade at the bottom &amp; a walkway that leads to the top of the temple. Hadrian had this temple built after the Samaritan temple was destroyed.</b></p><p><b><i>Ex Dr. Jay M.
