| Additional information |
Caesarea Maritima, the Roman administrative capital of Judaea, operated a civic mint whose output under Trajan is poorly understood — surviving specimens are scarce enough that die studies remain incomplete. This hemidrachm corresponds to the period following the reorganization of the province after the First Jewish War, when Caesarea had replaced Jerusalem as the dominant urban center of Roman rule in the region.
Sydenham-Malloy 178 is among the less frequently traded references in the Caesarean series.
