| Reversbeschreibung | 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. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Ostrogoths lacked both the infrastructure and the ideological mandate to strike large bronze denominations from scratch, so they did the practical thing: they raided existing Roman coinage. Sestertii of the first-century emperors were still circulating in Italy in quantity, and countermarking them with a value designation — here 83 nummi — allowed Theoderic and his successors to integrate old imperial bronze into a functioning Ostrogothic monetary system without new production. The arrangement was politically useful too, preserving the face of a Roman emperor while asserting Gothic administrative control over valuation.
The 83-nummi denomination is an odd figure that has never been fully explained to scholarly consensus.
