Ibanez:
dear friends,
have you any idea about this specimen?

Pscipio:
Just a quick guess, it looks like a Iudaea Capta issue struck by the Flavians in the east.

mauseus:
Hi,

Lars, you're right. Caesaraea in Samaria.

This is one from FORVM's current offering, coin 8892 for Domitian, but also known for Titus and Vespasian (I think):

Mauseus

Ibanez:
yes, have you right all. found a reference at: [BROKEN LINK REMOVED BY ADMIN]

Howard Cole:
This has to be Domitian.  He is the only one I can find with a right facing bust.  The rest have a left facing bust.

Here is the description from SNG ANS, part 6, coins numbers 492-494.

Obv. IMPDOMITIANVSCAESAVGGERMANICVS. Laureate head of Domititan right.
Rev.  Athena advancing left, raising right hand on trophy; holding shield and spear in left hand.
