Titus, 24 June 79 - 13 September 81 A.D., Antioch, Seleucis and Pieria, Syria
|Roman| |Syria|, |Titus,| |24| |June| |79| |-| |13| |September| |81| |A.D.,| |Antioch,| |Seleucis| |and| |Pieria,| |Syria|, This coin was struck to pay Titus' legions and their expenses immediately after the Fall of Jerusalem at the end of the First Jewish Revolt. This disastrous revolt was triggered in 66 A.D. by a massacre of Jews and the desecration of the synagogue in Caesarea, where this coin was struck. On 14 April 70 A.D. Titus surrounded Jerusalem. He allowed pilgrims to enter to celebrate Passover but this was a trap to put pressure on supplies of food and water; he refused to allow them to leave. On 10 May he began his assault on the walls. The third wall fell on 25 May. The second wall fell on 30 May. On 20 July Titus stormed the Temple Mount. On 4 August 70 A.D. Titus destroyed the Temple. The Jewish fast of Tisha B'Av mourns the Fall of Jerusalem annually on this date.
