| Reverse description | The reverse presents a celebrated Judaea Capta composition: Vespasian, clad in full military dress, stands facing right, his right hand gripping a spear and his left holding a parazonium, with his right foot resting triumphantly upon a helmet. To his right, a personification of Judaea — a mourning female figure — sits in a posture of defeat upon a cuirass beneath a tall palm tree, the enduring symbol of the conquered province. The design conveys Roman imperial dominance with deliberate propagandistic clarity, commemorating the suppression of the Jewish revolt and the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. The field inscription S C (Senatus Consultum) flanks the central group, affirming senatorial authority over the bronze coinage. |
