Vespasian. (69-79 AD). Orichalcum sestertius (26.04 gm). Rome, Spring-Summer 71 AD. IMP CAES VESPAS AVG P M TR P P P COS III, head laureate right / IVDAEA CAPTA around, S C in exergue, palm tree, to left bearded Jew with cloak over shoulders standing right, hands tied behind back, behind him two shields and spear with helmet, or helmet-like die break, attached below the spear's tip; to right Jewess, veiled, seated right on cuirass, supporting head with hand in attitude of mourning, a shield protrudes from behind her knees. RIC 233 (C). BMCRE 532. CBN 491. Cohen 233 (8 Fr.). Kraay 505a (this piece, A120/P107). A scarce type in this final issue of the year with VESPAS only in obverse legend: most of Vespasian's Judaea Capta sestertii were struck in the second issue of the year with obverse VESPASIAN. Also remarkable for the extremely large Jewess and for what appears to be the helmet on the spear. Extremely fine. Ex Hess, Lucerne, 207, 1 December 1931, Otto, lot 1004; ex L. Hamburger, 19 October 1925, Niklovits, lot 647. On some dies of this reverse type, for example BMCRE II, pl. 33,1, a helmet rests atop the shields behind the standing Jew. On our die, in contrast, a conical helmet, with a neckguard hanging down behind, might seem to be suspended in mid-air just below the tip of the spear that slants upward behind the Jew! As there are no parallels for helmets suspended from spears in depictions of captured arms, this is probably either artistic license, that is, an aberration of the die engraver, or else merely a die cud that happens to look like a helmet, resulting from a triangular chip of metal and a shallower adjoining rectangular chip (the "neck guard") that broke away from the surface of the die at this point. David Hendin, in a recent article in The Celator, argued that it is indeed a helmet on the spear and identified this as a new Judaea Capta type. Colin Kraay, in the die catalogue of Vespasian's sestertii of 71 in his unpublished Oxford dissertation of 1953, knew this reverse die in combination with four obverse dies, one with VESPASIAN in the obverse legend, plus our obverse die and two others with just VESPAS in the legend. Estimate: US$25000.

Perfectly struck on a full flan with a dark green patina, good extremely fine Ex Triton sale III, 1999, 1033. From the William James Conte collection. Vespasian’s greatest military triumph was the war he and his son Titus waged in Judaea at the end of Nero’s reign. The campaign was so difficult that the Flavians celebrated its conclusion with triumphal processions, games, a triumphal arch and an uncommonly extensive series of coins. This sestertius is one of the most remarkable examples to have survived, with even the smallest details perfectly preserved. Most impressive is the miniature portrait of Vespasian on the reverse, the engraving of which would have tested the skills of even the most gifted artist. With dual sympathies the chronicler Josephus wrote an in-depth narrative of the Roman campaign in Judaea. We are told of great suffering by both Jews and Romans, though in the final analysis the Jews bore the lion’s share of the consequences. The Roman dead numbered in the tens of thousands, and Josephus counts the number of Jewish dead in the millions, with most having succumbed to famine or pestilence. Josephus describes what the Romans encountered when they breached the walls of Jerusalem and began to search the subterranean portion of the city: "So horrible was the stench from the bodies which met the intruders, that many instantly withdrew, but others penetrated further through avarice, trampling over heaps of corpses; for many precious objects were found in these passages" In the aftermath, Josephus reports that the Romans "selected the tallest and most handsome of the youth and reserved each of them for the triumph; of the rest, those over seventeen years of age he sent in chains to the mines in Egypt, while multitudes were presented to Titus in the various provinces, to be destroyed in the theatres by the sword or by wild beasts; those under seventeen were sold."
