Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Domitian (81-96 AD) to commemorate the Roman victory over Judaea, and it features an image of a woman representing Judaea, with a defeated expression, seated on a rock, surrounded by palm trees and a Roman soldier standing next to her, symbolizing the Roman occupation of the region.
