<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8051516, member: 19463&quot;]I suppose it is a matter of opinion but I regret what I consider a tendency of some sellers to promote any coin of Titus and Vespasian and &#039;Judaea Capta&#039;.&nbsp; IMO proper Capta types will either have a captive in a submissive pose or the legend IVDAEA CAPTA (or both).&nbsp; Any figure of Victory, Pax, Mars etc. may have been inspired by the Jewish wars but the coins need more to qualify than a simple appearance of a military subject.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I am a bit ambivalent on the matter when it comes to the piglet type. I do wish they had clarified the anti-Jewish intent, if there was any, with a legend.&nbsp; As it is, I do not see this as related to the war but it still is an interesting type.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1394302[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
