| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Vespasian facing right, with strongly modelled features characteristic of Flavian portraiture, the laurel wreath rendered in bold relief. The bust is bare-shouldered. The encircling legend is incuse-struck around the periphery of the flan, partially visible due to wear and die alignment. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in the immediate aftermath of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple, this bronze commemorates Rome's suppression of the Jewish revolt — a campaign Vespasian had commanded before being proclaimed emperor in 69 AD, leaving his son Titus to finish the siege. The IVDAEA CAPTA series was produced across multiple denominations and mints, functioning as explicit political currency for a dynasty whose claim to power rested heavily on military conquest rather than hereditary legitimacy.
RIC II.1 134 places this among the Rome mint aes issues of 71 AD, the year Vespasian and Titus jointly celebrated their triumph through the streets of Rome — an event described in detail by Josephus, who witnessed it as a Roman prisoner turned imperial client.
