A very historically significant coin minted by the Romans to commemorate the conquest of Judaea. This Judaea Capta (Judaea Captured) series of coins was the largest issue ever to commemorate the defeat of a nation.

Thanks very much to Lucas H!

Awesome that you got one! If you're going to have a Vespasian denarius, this is it. A very historic piece.
