This celebrated temple had been rebuilt by Nero following the great fire of 64 AD. The Neronian structure survived until another conflagration late in the reign of Commodus and was again restored early in the 3rd century by Julia Domna. It was again rebuilt in more modern times where it still stands in the Roman Forum to this day.
Die notes from Curtis Clay:
"Same dies, and better condition, than the Paris spec., pl. LVII, 663.
The BM spec., pl. 26.9, also illustrated in RIC, pl. 40, 601, is also from the same rev. die, but a different obv. die.
The BM and Paris specimens of the same As for Titus COS II CENS are also from that same rev. die: BM pl. 27.7 = RIC pl. 42, 640; Paris pl. LIX, 689."

The cow that appears on this coin is generally thought to be one of the famous statues by the fifth century Greek sculptor Myron. This statue went on to adorned the Temple of Pax (later the Forum Pacis), built by Vespasian to celebrate the end of the Jewish War. Myron's statues were brought to Rome by Octavian and were originally placed in the temple of Apollo on the Palatine, which he dedicated in 28 B.C. Vespasian moved them to the new Temple of Pax that he began building in 71 AD.

Myron's statues were brought to Rome by Augustus and were placed in the temple of Apollo on the Palatine in 28 BCE.

Ex-Germania Inferior Numismatics
Part of the agrarian series under Vespasian, perhaps promoting a more simpler way of life or the bounty that is provided by the Emperor. This one being minted for Titus. While only listed as Rare in RIC, this type is exceedingly difficult to find in trade, even more so than the one for Vespasian, and is a favorite of collectors. Only 3 others in Forum galleries (orfew, 2 Atherton). Wonderful toning in hand. Jay GT4

Ex-Londinium pick bin
Pulled this one out of a $10 pick bin. It was covered in a thick dark sticky film but was recognizable as a Flavian. A few dips in acetone and Vespasian came to the surface. Perhaps someone striped the patina at some point and tried repatination. In any case, the coin still toned under the film and now has a chocolate patina. Not so rough in hand. One of the more common coins from the series, yet still relatively scarce.Jay GT4

RIC 1029 (R3)
HJB 225th Bid or Buy lot 63 from the Curtis L. Clay Collection; ex CNG E329, 25 June 2014, 409.
The reverse depicts Domitian participating in the Judaea Capta triumph of 71 A.D. He is, as Josephus described him, riding alongside in magnificent apparel and mounted on a horse that was itself a site worth seeing.
RIC notes that this is "presumably a mule, with the reverse of Domitian from the parallel issue." David Atherton believes the reverse die is intentional for both Titus and Domitian, making this an official pairing of dies for Titus. Regardless, the type is very rare. None in Forum galleries.Jay GT4

Ex-Atherton (for a few hours) :)
A much sought after and unique Judaea Capta denarius struck at Lyon (Lugdunum) in 71 CE. This example is solid silver with wonderful dark toning and hints of iridescence. The bottom of the letters in IVDAEA can just be made out on the reverse.
The vast majority of these denarii on the market today are plated contemporary forgeries. David Atherton states that nearly 60% of the Devicta coins he's seen in trade are plated. There are no known die links between plated and solid examples. However, because of the sheer amount of plated coins in existance, some have speculated that they are semi-official. The type is very difficult to attain on the market as either a fouree or solid silver. The forthcoming Addenda has changed the frequency from (C) to (R). Thanks to David for helping me secure this fantastic and historical piece!
