| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a standing Roman soldier or figure of Victory to the left, fully armed, standing beside a tall palm tree at centre — the iconic Judaea Capta type commemorating the Roman conquest of Judaea in 70 AD. To the right, a mourning female captive sits on the ground in a posture of dejection, her head bowed, representing the subjugated province of Judaea. The composition is rendered in detailed relief characteristic of large Flavian bronze coinage. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consulto) appears in the lower field, flanking the base of the palm tree, and the legend IVDAEA CAPTA is distributed in the exergue and surrounding field. |
