(Translation: Imperator Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, Consul Tertium. Supreme commander (Imperator) Caesar Vespasian, emperor (Augustus), consul for the third time.)
Reverse description Victory, winged and draped, strides boldly to the left, holding aloft a large round shield which she is in the act of affixing to a trophy composed of captured arms. At the base of the trophy, a mourning female figure representing captive Judaea sits facing left in an attitude of dejection, her hands bound, commemorating the Roman suppression of the Jewish revolt of AD 66–70. The senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the field, flanking the central group. The composition is a powerful propagandistic statement of imperial triumph, referencing the Flavian victory in the Jewish War.
