Reverse description The reverse depicts the celebrated Judaea Capta type: a tall palm tree, symbol of the province of Judaea, stands at centre, its fronds spreading across the upper field. To the left, a Roman soldier in military dress stands facing right, resting his right hand on the trunk of the palm. To the right, a mourning female figure — personifying the conquered province of Judaea — sits in a posture of grief on a pile of arms and armour, her head bowed and supported by her right hand. The senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the lower exergue, flanking the base of the palm. The legend CAPTA IVDAEA is distributed across the field to the left and right of the central group.
