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."

Some insight why this may not be official from Curtis Clay:
1. For mint mules the obv. and rev. should belong to either the same issue or to immediately successive issues. But on Jay's coin the obv. is of 72-early 73 (COS IIII without CENS), but the PONTIF MAXIM rev. is not otherwise known with that COS IIII obv. legend, nor with the next legend with COS IIII CEN, nor with the legend after that with just CEN and still clockwise, but only with the third obv. legend thereafter, namely CEN but counterclockwise. That rev. type is probably of 74 AD, since at its last stage it occurs with a legend specifically dated to 74, PON MAX TR P COS V. Obv. of 72-early 73, rev. of 74: that's a combination that the official mint was unlikely to produce.
2. IMI for IMP in obv. legend, an error that an official engraver was unlikely to make.Jay GT4

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.

EX-Numismatik Naumann GmbH Auction 136 lot 519
This coin was described by the auction house as a Limes (unofficial) coin. However, this coin is indeed solid silver with a heavy dark toning and encrustations, as can be seen on the reverse. The double strike obverse, Ad Marco scoop on the reverse and being a double die match to the Sneh coin make this an official coin from Antioch. Interestingly, the Antioch version is more common than the Rome mint issue. One which I am happy to add to my collection. I may try to remove the encrustation from the palm tree and back of Judaea.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

RIC 1120 (C); Hendin 6518 (R)
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!

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

Rare (5 specimens RPC online) die matched to #5
Ex-Denarius Ringsrud (Norway); Ex. Münzzentrum Köln, auction 43 lot 188, plate p. 32 (27 April 1981).
Part of a small series of tetradrachms struck in Caesarea Maritima shortly after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE.
After its fall, Titus spent three days outside the city handing out rewards and spoils to his troops.
"Then descending with his army to Caesarea Maritima, he there deposited the bulk of his spoils and directed that his prisoners should be kept in custody; for the winter season prevented his sailing for Italy" (Josephus)
It has been suggested this series of tetradrachms was struck during Titus' time in Caesaera. The style is fairly crude and is similar to other bronze coins attributed to Caesarea Maritima. Silver quality is not standardized, which gives evidence of a military issue. Being stuck just days or weeks after the fall of Jerusalem, surely these were part of the rewards Titus distributed to the troops.
