| Reverse description | Judaea personified as a mourning female figure, seated right beneath a tall palm tree, her head bowed in sorrow and her right hand raised to her face in the conventional attitude of lamentation. Behind the palm tree are displayed martial trophies consisting of one round shield, two oblong shields, and a helmet, symbolising Roman military victory. The legend IVDAEA CAPTA appears in the field, with S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the central design, indicating senatorial authorization of the issue. This celebrated reverse type commemorates the Roman suppression of the Jewish revolt and the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, making it one of the most historically significant coin types of the ancient world. |
