Aanvullende informatie

Issued in the first full year of Vespasian's consolidated rule, this sestertius belongs to a deliberately propagandistic output celebrating the Flavian victory in Judaea. The Jewish War — formally concluded with the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD — was the founding myth of the new dynasty, and the mint at Rome produced an extraordinary volume of commemorative bronze in 71 precisely because Vespasian needed the coinage to do political work across the empire's breadth. The IVDAEA CAPTA types dominate numismatic memory of this moment, but Victory reverses served the same ideological function with less geographic specificity.

RIC II.1 #118 falls within the early Flavian reorganization of the mint, when output was being normalized after the civil wars of 69.
