Reverse description A tall date palm tree dominates the centre of the field, its fronds spreading across the upper register. To the left of the palm stands a male Jewish captive, hands bound behind his back, facing right. To the right, the personification of Judaea is depicted seated in a posture of mourning upon a pile of arms and armour, her head bowed in dejection. The large senatorial authority marks S and C flank the central group at left and right respectively, with the abbreviated legend IVD CAP appearing above. This celebrated type commemorates the Flavian conquest of Judaea following the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.
