Vespasian RIC II 1558
Vespasian.  69-79 A.D.  AR Denarius.  Antioch Mint 72-73 A.D. (2.94 g., 15.5m, 6h).  Obv:  [IMP CAES VESP AVG PM COS IIII], laureate head right.  Rev: Palm tree, to left, Vespasian standing right with spear and parazonium, foot on helmet, to right, Judaea standing right.  RIC II 1558. Ex CNG.

A Judaea Capta type from the Syrian mint of Antioch, this type shows the typical high relief portrait of that mint.  The palm represents the Roman province of Judaea, and this coin commemorates the Flavian’s greatest victory, that over Judaea in 70 A.D., a theme that pervaded the reigns of Vespasian and Titus.
