Judaea Capta Coin, Rome, Silver (81 C.E.)
To celebrate their triumph over Jerusalem, the Romans produced a huge
issue of commemorative coins, known as Judaea Capta (Judea captured).
These coins depict the Emperor Vespasian; Titus, the general who
conquered Jerusalem and later became emperor in 79 C.E.; and
personifications of a defeated Judea as a mourning Jewess.
