As - Vespasian VICTORIA NAVALIS S C, Victory

The VICTORIA NAVALIS reverse type commemorates the decisive Roman naval operations during the Jewish War of 66–70 AD, particularly the Lake of Gennesaret engagement of 67 AD in which Vespasian's forces — under his son Titus — systematically destroyed Galilean rebel positions using hastily constructed rafts and assault vessels. It was an unconventional campaign for a land army, and the Romans suffered initial losses before overwhelming the Jewish fighters by sheer numbers. Vespasian's decision to celebrate a naval victory on coinage issued the year after Jerusalem's fall was pointed political messaging.

RIC II.1 336 is among the rarer as types of the Vespasianic series; the VICTORIA NAVALIS reverse saw limited production runs compared to the more common Judaea Capta issues.
